Working Together for a Healthier California

The California Breastfeeding Coalition (CBC) exists to improve the health and well-being of Californians by working collaboratively to protect, promote, and support lactation and human milk feeding.

Since 2011, we’ve convened partners from across the continuum of care to enact sustainable and effective systems change while amplifying the voices and experiences of those who have been historically ignored.

Lactation Success

Healthcare Providers

Between education series, the new hospital initiative, as well as guidelines for health centers, CBC is a great resource for healthcare providers.
