Did you know that local businesses can join the "Breastfeeding Welcome Here" campaign to show their support for breastfeeding parents and children? The KBC’s “Breastfeeding Welcome Here” campaign is aimed at creating welcoming environments where breastfeeding parents can care for their children. In Kansas, 90% of families initiate breastfeeding and are more likely to patronize businesses where they feel comfortable.

Check out the list of local businesses below that have pledged their support! New to the list are Bri's Dance Studio, Grand Central Station, City of Lebo, 11th Lane Roastery, & First National Bank of Kansas- Waverly!
