Strengthening the Community of Lactation Care
How do we strengthen the community of care for breast and chestfeeding families, through their prenatal to weaning journeys? The Missoula Breastfeeding Conference is the second event in this series. Themes for this conference and choice of speakers were guided by our first community discussion in February 2024. Meeting attendees identified the strengths and challenges in our lactation community, and barriers that families face.
Missoula Breastfeeding Conference is possible with the support of
