About Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities

The Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities (BFFC) initiative is a community-wide program to impact Health Equity, as supported by the World Health Organization guidelines to work with communities to improve breastfeeding support services. The BFFC brings together stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, organizations, agencies, and institutions. Change may take time; however, the goals of BFFC include advocating for lactation friendly and equitable health care policies and practices for families by supporting healthcare providers to be accountable for top quality and equitable care; helping all families find excellent prenatal and postpartum care; and teaching every family in our community why breast/chestfeeding matters. Every family that wants to nurse will be able to nurse for as long as that family chooses without shame or guilt and with educated and supported choices that are not undermined. By implementing BFFC practices, we will create a more breast/chestfeeding family friendly community to impact health equity for all families.
