SAFE Infant Feeding Team Retreat
2026-11-18 - 2026-11-22
The SAFE Infant Feeding Team is together in person this week. The team arrives ahead of the Nurse-Family Partnership presentation on the 19th and heads home Sunday.
SAFE is the national IYCF-E implementation of Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities. If BFFC is the blue skies strategy, the slow work of building communities where feeding a baby is everyone’s business, SAFE is the gray skies strategy, for the days that work gets tested.
This is an internal working retreat, not a public event. We are listing it so you know the team will be slow to answer that week. A group that spends the year inside other people’s emergencies has to take a few days to plan its own work on purpose.

USBC Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies Constellation
2026-12-09 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York)
The US Breastfeeding Committee owns this constellation. The SAFE Infant Feeding Team facilitates it. SAFE is the national IYCF-E implementation of Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities. If BFFC is the blue skies strategy, the slow work of building communities where feeding a baby is everyone’s business, SAFE is the gray skies strategy, for the days that work gets tested. Constellations are how USBC does collective work. Member organizations commit to a shared piece of the national agenda and meet over time to actually move it. Facilitating the infant and young child feeding in emergencies constellation means this conversation now has a permanent home inside the national coalition instead of living in a handful of people’s inboxes. Participation is open to US Breastfeeding Committee member organizations. If your organization is a USBC member and you want a seat at this table, contact USBC for an invitation. If you are not a member yet, that is the first step, and it is worth taking.
