Central Florida Birth Network is committed to advocating for holistic and informed pregnancy and birth care, fostering a deep sense of community for individuals, families, and birth and allied health professionals. This year, as we celebrate National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, we invite you to join us in bringing awareness to the importance of breastfeeding/lactation by sharing your unique memories, perspectives, and experiences.

 Share Your Story

We are seeking narratives about your personal breastfeeding/lactation memories, perspectives, and experiences. Your stories will be featured throughout various formats during the month of August including social media, slide decks, and website(s). In alignment with the World Breastfeeding Week theme, Filling The Gap, which emphasizes survival, health, and wellbeing, we are excited to highlight the crucial role of breastfeeding and lactation support in reducing societal inequalities. At the same time, we celebrate the everyday triumphs of families on their unique journeys!
