​ It is a goal of Acadiana Breastfeeding Coalition to keep local moms and their families informed. We want every mom to have access to resources, in order to safely and successfully breastfeed their babies. Breastfeeding infants and children has many benefits, which includes providing protection against many illnesses.
While we cannot directly advise as a Coalition, we can provide you with breastfeeding recommendations as guided by the CDC(Center for Disease Control and Prevention) and the WHO(World Health Organization). We can also give credible and valuable breastfeeding resources like AAP(American Academy of Pediatrics), La Leche League International, and the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine to help you make informed breastfeeding decisions.
We encourage families to stay informed and check for updates, as new information regarding COVID-19 virus is developing daily. Please also reach out to your healthcare providers and lactation consultants for breastfeeding support and to help you make informed decisions.
You can also visit our Resource page, to find breastfeeding classes and support groups in the Acadiana area, many of which are currently offering online/LIVE/video options.
