BreastfeedLA is dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of infants and families through education, outreach, and advocacy to promote and support breastfeeding.
The 3-5-year future vision for BreastfeedLA is to realize infant feeding equity. This means every expectant or new parent has access to information, resources, and support that facilitate informed decision making and the ability to feed and maintain feeding their infant in the way they determine is safest, healthiest, and most fitting for their lives.
Our work is grounded in diversity, equity and inclusion. We analyze power structures that lead to inequities within perinatal care and infant feeding practices. We work to create diverse, equitable and inclusive work spaces for employees, volunteers, our board, the lactation workforce and our partners. We actively engage community stakeholders in program development and design, educational offerings, and strategic planning. We model personal accountability and listening with intent to understand.
