The Breastfeeding Coalition of Palm Beach County was founded in 1992 in order to celebrate locally the "First Annual World Breastfeeding Week" sponsored by the World Alliance For Breastfeeding Action. The Coalition includes members representing maternal/child health agencies, hospitals, childbirth educators, lactation consultants, non-profit organizations, businesses, health care professionals, and breastfeeding mothers. The Coalition has been active ever since and it has successfully completed many projects in our continuing effort to raise public awareness of the many benefits of breastfeeding.
Monthly meetings of the Breastfeeding Coalition of Palm Beach County are held on the first Tuesday of every month at the Palm Beach County Health Department Clinic at Southwinds Drive, Lantana.
Members of the Breastfeeding Coalition of Palm Beach County are a dynamic mix of volunteers and professionals who meet monthly to support and encourage breastfeeding in our community. Our monthly meetings are an opportunity to be informed on the latest research and evidence based practices, share expertise and challenges in following national guidelines, and build advocacy for breastfeeding families.
