INAUGURAL DEAF & HARD of HEARING BREASTFEEDING WEEK

Close the Gap, Bridge the Divide:
Establish Breastfeeding Support Access.

The DC Breastfeeding Coalition along with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Collective, has partnered to form a powerful collaboration with Anthropology of Motherhood and the United States Breastfeeding Committee.

We are excited to bring you the inaugural Deaf and Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding (DHHBF) Week, September 16–22, 2025. The 2025 theme is Close the Gap, Bridge the Divide: Establish Breastfeeding Support Access. The mission of this initiative is to Provide Deaf and Hard of Hearing families with accessible breastfeeding education, support, and community, because language and breastfeeding access matters from birth.
