Childcare
Breastfeeding Friendly Trainings! Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities, in collaboration with communities in North Carolina, provided monthly webinars – Building Blocks of Breastfeeding Friendly Childcare Learning Bursts. Many parents need to return to work before lactation is well-established or have challenges maintaining milk supply after returning to work. Childcare providers are an important part of the community life for many families. Breastfeeding Friendly Childcare offers the support that families need to help meet their infant feeding goals.
