The U.S. Breastfeeding Committee’s theme for this year is This Is Our Why. The work that is centered around education and advocacy for breastfeeding efforts is important — the theme illuminates the need for support for babies and families.
This committee has organized weekly national observances to aid in awareness with topics from workplace support and policy to experiences from diverse populations.
