Every family deserves support In Their Feeding JourneyÂ
LATCH is California’s first statewide infrastructure for lactation support — built by and for the communities it serves.
Lactation Accessibility for Thriving Community Health (LATCH)
Every family deserves access to lactation support that meets them where they are. LATCH is the California Breastfeeding Coalition’s statewide initiative to make that support easier to find, easier to reach, and more inclusive of every community across California.
Whether you are just getting started or navigating a challenge, LATCH connects you with the people and resources that can help.
Together the latch services suite is helping to build a stronger, more connected lactation support system for California families and the providers who serve them.

Where LATCH came from
Unequal access to lactation support is tied to higher rates of breast cancer, infant illness, and maternal depression. LATCH exists to close that gap and is funded through the Californians Linking Action with Science for Prevention of Breast Cancer (CLASP-BC) grant and shaped by families and coalition partners across California.
