Celebrating National Breastfeeding Month
'Walking the Talk' – Steps of Support to celebrate National Breastfeeding Month
Join Hartford Hospital Special Deliveries Childbirth Center for a fun-filled stride around West Hartford Center in celebration of National Breastfeeding Month. Enjoy engaging activities, breastfeeding support and a chance to connect with other families in the community.
This year's theme of National Breastfeeding Month focuses on ‘equity’ and ‘access’ for all – highlighting the disparities in breastfeeding rates among black women.
“Celebrating National Breastfeeding Month with this community stroll is a testament to our commitment to supporting families on their breastfeeding journey,” said Mary Marshall-Crim, APRN, lactation manager at Hartford Hospital. “Breastfeeding has its challenges, and we want to show the community we are here to support them!”
