Help us to advocate for breastfeeding families
In current culture, social media can be a significant and influential source of information on parenting, child and maternal health, child birth, and of course breastfeeding. The Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition strives to provide the public with exciting and evidenced based information.

Having to return to work too early is a major reason mothers stop breastfeeding before they are ready. Learning the benefits of supporting parents in the workplace, and how to advocate for nursing moms, is essential in breastfeeding advocacy.
For breastfeeding babies it is normal to have an irregular feeding schedule and even feed every two hours. Supporting moms wherever and whenever they need to feed their babies can make the difference in breastfeeding success and in maternal mental health. .
Increasing breastfeeding advocacy that effectively targets the issues of healthcare systems, community structures, and big business can make breastfeeding messages more convincing. As a breastfeeding advocate it is possible to support individual feeding choices while targeting the things that get in the way of families meeting breastfeeding goals.
