Action for Lactation

Normalizing & promoting breastfeeding. Ending its social shaming. Striving to support Black lactating mothers. Not against the use of formula. #NutritionIsLife

Be great today. Be resilient. Be hopeful. Be excellent. You already are. Dig deep if you can't see it. #ThereIsNOTHINGYouCannotDo

Happy #WorldBreastfeedingWeek2020!

The interconnected nature of people/the planet requires that we find sustainable solutions that benefit both. #Breastfeeding is key to all the Sustainable Development Goals!

How will YOU support breastfeeding for a healthier planet?

PLEASE check on your (ESPECIALLY elderly) neighbors! If you can, make sure they have a way to stay cool and hydrated. The high (without the heat index) is 99 today in Maryland. Stay safe! ✊🏾

The Academy's position is that exclusive #breastfeeding provides optimal #nutrition and health protection for the first 6 months of life, and that breastfeeding with complementary foods from 6 mo. to at least 12 mo. is the ideal infant feeding pattern. https://t.co/gq4JV2c4Aq

As Trump administration's forbidden CDC words draw critics, a second HHS agency reports similar guidance.

At the State Department, meanwhile, certain documents now refer to sex education as "sexual risk avoidance."

The role that education plays in breastfeeding behaviors.
We know what says the research. What say you breastfeeding participants & workers?

@PowerToLactate most time find subtle sign if not obvious signs that mother feel they're not adequate when it comes to feeding at breast

Do you personally experience, or witness a loved one experiencing, barriers to breastfeeding or providing breast milk to a 0-1 year infant?
