Join us for "Well Nourished: Feeding Our Babies, Securing Our Futures" on Day #3 of #PostpartumAwarenessWeek 2024! Tues, May 7th
As @laurenjturnerfineart's moving work shows, feeding black babies is BEAUTIFUL, no matter how you do it!
Day #3 of the National Postpartum Awareness Week (PAW) Virtual Series will explore the challenges and benefits that BIPOC birthing people experience as they seek to nourish themselves and their babies during the #4thtrimester and beyond.
BIPOC parents who choose to breast/chest feed are more likely to experience difficulties such as access to affordable and nutritious food, lack of workplace accommodations, toxic and pervasive stress, and a scarcity of reliable information, education and support.
Additionally, people of color face a range of social and cultural barriers from negative perceptions about feeding their babies in public, to criticism of those who are unable to successfully breastfeed, or those who choose to formula feed.
These pressures can significantly affect the mental, emotional, and physical health of the birthing person, creating complications that can have dire and long term implications on the wellbeing of the caregivers, their babies and families.
This session will offer insights, anecdotes and tools to empower birthing people and their families to make informed choices to achieve their feeding goals to support their visions for a powerful future.
