“Invest in breastfeeding, invest in the future.”

World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated every year in the first week of August. It’s a time to recognize breastfeeding as a powerful foundation for lifelong health, development, and equity. Parents and babies need support from the healthcare system through their breastfeeding journey.

At Hennepin Healthcare we have a dedicated team of lactation consultants. They work together with staff and providers to ensure every parent has access to the support and information they need to breastfeed as long as they wish to do so.

“Breastfeeding delivers a hopeful future not only for children, but for societies. It reduces healthcare costs, boosts cognitive development, strengthens economies, and sets children up with healthy beginnings.”
