Important Dates in the Month of August
This year, the theme “Enabling breastfeeding: Making a difference for working parents” reminds us of WIC’s important role in parents’ support and breastfeeding education.
This year's theme is "From the Stars to a Sustainable Future". We honor and celebrate indigenous breastfeeding and chestfeeding experiences and reclaiming ancestral birthing and parenting practices.
This year's theme is "Telling our stories. Elevating our voices". We are committed to supporting Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities in their breastfeeding and chestfeeding journeys.
This year's theme is "We Outside! Celebrating Connection & Our Communities". Black Breastfeeding Week is the perfect time to learn more about organizations committed to supporting Black people who breastfeed and chestfeed, such as WIC’s sister program, CinnaMoms.
We are committed to supporting Latin/Hispanic communities in their breastfeeding and chestfeeding journeys.
