August is National Breastfeeding Month! Healthy Horizons, The United States Breastfeeding Committee, and other organizations host campaigns to increase breastfeeding support, encourage breastfeeding, and to appreciate lactating parents. This year’s National Breastfeeding Month theme is Many Voices United. We must come together to identify and implement policies and changes to ensure that every family that chooses to breastfeed or chestfeed has the support and resources to succeed.

They include special virtual events, weekly themed sales, and a Lactation Room Contest with fabulous prizes for both parents and their workplace lactation room!
