PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES

Montana Breastfeeding Collaborative offers a range of programs and initiatives aimed at promoting breastfeeding awareness, supporting expectant and new mothers, and collaborating with healthcare providers to create breastfeeding-friendly environments. Our initiatives include community outreach, professional training, and public policy advocacy to empower families and healthcare professionals.

Community Support

Our community support programs focus on building local networks of breastfeeding families, organizing support groups, and providing access to certified lactation consultants. We believe that a supportive community plays a crucial role in normalizing breastfeeding and empowering mothers.

Prenatal Education

We provide prenatal education resources to expectant mothers, partners, and families to prepare them for the breastfeeding journey. Our goal is to ensure that families are equipped with the knowledge and confidence to initiate and sustain breastfeeding.

Healthcare Partnerships

Collaborating with healthcare institutions and professionals is vital to our mission. We work closely with hospitals, clinics, and pediatricians to implement best practices in breastfeeding support, offer staff training, and enhance the overall breastfeeding experience for families.

Policy Advocacy

Advocating for breastfeeding-friendly policies at local, state, and national levels is an integral part of our work. We engage in policy discussions, support legislative efforts, and raise awareness about the importance of breastfeeding-friendly environments in public spaces and workplaces.

Family Wellness

Promoting family wellness through breastfeeding is a core aspect of our programs. We emphasize the physical and emotional benefits of breastfeeding for both mothers and infants, and we strive to create a supportive ecosystem for families to thrive.

Professional Development

We offer professional development opportunities for healthcare providers, lactation consultants, and community breastfeeding advocates. By enhancing professional knowledge and skills, we aim to improve the quality of breastfeeding support and care provided to families.
