Breastfeed Durham is dedicated to informing and supporting families through their breastfeeding journey, from pregnancy to the transition back to work.
Our comprehensive directory serves as a crucial hub, listing all available breastfeeding and lactation resources within the community. We understand that every family's needs are unique, which is why our goal is to provide a wide range of options to cater to diverse requirements. Our offerings include detailed information on lactation support providers, ensuring parents have access to professional guidance tailored to their specific needs.
We also feature parenting classes that focus on breastfeeding, equipping families with the knowledge and confidence to navigate this natural, yet sometimes challenging, process.
Recognizing the importance of preparation, we provide resources for developing breastfeeding plans for the hospital stay. This ensures that both parents and healthcare providers are aligned with the family's breastfeeding goals from the very beginning.
Breastfeed Durham champions breastfeeding-friendly environments. We have curated a list of breastfeeding-friendly businesses and employers, making it easier for parents to find supportive places for feeding their babies or pumping milk, even when returning to work.
Inclusion and accessibility are at the heart of our mission. We offer specialized resources for the LGBTQ+ community, ensuring that all families, regardless of their makeup, receive the support they need. We also focus on racially concordant care, aiming to bridge the gap in breastfeeding support for families of color by connecting them with providers who understand their cultural and individual needs.
Language should not be a barrier to accessing high-quality breastfeeding support. Therefore, we provide resources in both English and Spanish, striving to reach and assist a broader segment of our community.
Breastfeed Durham is not just a directory; it's a community advocate, striving to promote a culture where breastfeeding is supported, respected, and encouraged in all spaces. Whether you're expecting, currently breastfeeding, or planning to return to work while breastfeeding, we are here to support you every step of the way with the most comprehensive, accessible, and inclusive resources available.
