Breastfeeding is best for babies!  Moms need a lot of support to breastfeed, especially when they go back to work.  The Breastfeeding Coalition of Ventura County seeks to acknowledge and honor  employers, child care providers and physicians in Ventura County who promote, support and encourage breastfeeding as well as provide resources and recommendations for nursing moms.

Employers, child care providers and physicians make a critical difference in whether a working mother continues to breastfeed her infant.  Having a terrific support system benefits our babies!  Great employers, child care providers and physicians deserve to have their efforts recognized and rewarded!
