“The most revolutionary act in advancing global health is breastfeeding – simple, natural, and peaceful.”

Breastfeeding is key to lifelong wellness, reduction in environmental waste, and significant financial savings for families.

While Breastfeeding is Natural, It Doesn’t Always Come Naturally

Today’s moms face many barriers that stop them from reaching their breastfeeding goals, including:
  • A lack of confidence in their breastfeeding knowledge
  • Confusing and fragmented information on the internet
  • Unfriendly workplace policies
  • Cultural stigmas and judgment for their choice to breastfeed

of mothers don’t meet their breastfeeding goals.

“I wish I would have done research to fully prepare myself on how difficult it was going to be, especially the first couple of weeks. I was unprepared for that.”
– Jennifer, 27
