Community Support in Action


Indiana Black Breastfeeding Coalition (with the Indiana Breastfeeding Alliance and the Indiana Perinatal Network): The Naomi and Ruth (NAR) Project

Picture
The Naomi and Ruth Project was initiated in an African American church setting after several young women began breastfeeding their babies in church. A survey discovered that many of the church’s elder women had breastfed themselves and were happy and willing to offer advice and support to breastfeeding moms. This discovery sparked a new mentoring relationship in the community. The Indiana Black Breastfeeding Coalition plans to document these relationships and the positive impact they have on mothers and their decision to breastfeed.

Employment Support in Action


Florida Breastfeeding Coalition: Get Pumped!

Picture
As part of The Business Case for Breastfeeding, the Florida Breastfeeding Coalition (FBC) developed the Breastfeeding Friendly Employer Award. Businesses, hospitals, and schools that provide pumping areas, support, and education services to employees can apply and are awarded gold, silver, and bronze levels. FBC will document these businesses, the services they provide, and the mothers and babies who benefit from them, in an effort to motivate other employers to “Get Pumped!”

Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona: Employers for a Healthy New Generation

Picture
The Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA) will showcase successful workplace lactation support by documenting four women – each representing a different tribal organization – utilizing support services and the benefits these policies provide for the employer. The project will feature mothers bringing their babies to work and taking breaks to pump milk or breastfeed directly at a child care facility and a tribal council meeting. By creating images of Native Americans breastfeeding their babies, the ITCA hopes to reach out to this underrepresented population and encourage the implementation of workplace breastfeeding support in other tribes and organizations.

California Breastfeeding Coalition: The California Breastfeeding Story & Becoming Baby Friendly

Picture
The California Breastfeeding Coalition (CBC) encourages hospitals to create supportive environments for mothers to exclusively breastfeed their infants through the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) and the California Model Hospital Policies. By documenting the BFHI journey through its many phases – Including discovery, development, dissemination, and designation – and highlighting the BFHI Ten Steps, the coalition hopes to capture behind-the-scenes interactions and compelling moments that express the importance of institutional change in breastfeeding practices.

Louisiana Breastfeeding Coalition: Louisiana Nurse Family Partnership & Reaching Unlikely Breastfeeders

Picture
The Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) Home Visitor program in Louisiana offers a supportive relationship and trustworthy role model to low-income, first-time moms. The voluntary program matches some of Louisiana’s most unlikely breastfeeders with an RN who meets with the new mother weekly or bi-weekly throughout pregnancy and during the child’s first two years. This relationship provides the specialized support many of these mothers need in order to make confident and informed decisions on behalf of their babies, including infant feeding practices. By photographing the positive outcomes of the NFP program, the Louisiana Breastfeeding Coalition hopes to ensure the value of positive professional-client relationships to help mothers reach their breastfeeding goals.

North Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition: Researching Human Milk in North Carolina

Picture
The North Carolina State University (NCSU) laboratory is busy performing rigorous human milk research in order to create more accurate guidelines for human milk storage and the safety of human milk donations. The evidence-based discoveries made may lead to less wasted breast milk in NICU, day care, and home environments as scientists realize that the milk possesses a longer shelf life than previous guidelines suggest. By documenting the step-by-step process by which human milk donations are gathered, processed, tested, and distributed, the North Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition hopes to create further confirmation of the hard science behind the benefits of human milk.
