"When a mother nurses her baby, she is giving that child her name, her story, and her life's song."
​-Annie Kahn from Round Rock

Breastfeeding is ESSENTIAL.


​Breastfeeding is good for everyone.

For babies, it boosts their brain development, provides essential nutrients to their growing bodies, and protects them from illness and infection.

For mothers, it lowers their risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and postpartum depression. 

For employers, supporting breastfeeding mothers can decrease health care and insurances costs, lower absenteeism, and improve productivity and turnover rates.

For our community, breastfeeding mothers means decreasing the amount of packaging going to landfills and a healthier community by reducing various illnesses and health conditions.
