National Breastfeeding Month

Healthy Horizons advocates for breastfeeding moms every day. But this month is special. August is National Breastfeeding Month, and this year is our 30th anniversary. We’re celebrating BIG. Here’s your guide on what to expect for National Breastfeeding Month 2021. You’ll learn about opportunities for education, advocacy, support, and best of all...great prizes, giveaways and free stuff to celebrate breastfeeding mamas! 

Mama, We See You.

Every parent/child feeding journey is unique. This month, we celebrate a parenting community that supports, encourages and honors one another as we each take one day at a time and do the best we can for our babies. We know that looks different every day and in every relationship. Breastfeeding mothers give deeply of themselves in so many ways -- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Some days the exhaustion is heavy. Some days the joy overflows. We commit to comfort each other on the hard days and celebrate together on the joyful ones. Mama, we see you, and you are amazing.
