The California Breastfeeding Coalition (CBC)

Their vision is that all California families receive equitable access to quality timely essential lactation support throughout the perinatal period. They recognize the vast disparities in breastfeeding rates exist due to racist structures and systems in health education, communication and medical policies and practices. Through Their advocacy and education efforts, They amplify the voices and experiences of those who have been historically ignored.

The California Breastfeeding Coalition (CBC) seeks to bolster the current lactation healthcare system to promote and support chest/breastfeeding consistently with evidence-based best practices. Through a comprehensive and coordinated approach, the CBC will convene partners from across the continuum of care to enact sustainable and effective systems change.

Mission:
