Recent CDC data show that 75% of white women have ever breastfed versus 58.9% of black women. A significant contributing factor to this trend is the underrepresentation of diversity within the lactation profession. It is our hope that #blackbreastfeedingweek will empower and support women to change that narrative. We could talk about the different statistics - How the rates of breastfeeding have changed throughout history? - How many Black babies don't get breastfed? - but we want to hear from you! Who supported you the most on your breastfeeding journey? What did you wish you had? Let's take this conversation to the comments!
