The third goal of the National Agenda for Breastfeeding is to: "Ensure that all federal, state, and local laws relating to child welfare and family law recognize and support the importance and practice of breastfeeding."
NABA is dedicated to the protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding as an integral part of a vision of wellness for the United States of America. It was formed to be an advocate for breastfeeding at the state and federal levels. NABA's mission is to coordinate efforts by organizations, agencies, institutions, and individuals towards the development of strategic plans, policies, and goals for breastfeeding reform in the U.S. NABA monitors the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes in the United States and publishes the country report on Code violations.
