One of the most effective ways a mother protects the health of her baby and herself is by breastfeeding. The Breastfeeding Program works to help all babies get the best start in life by ensuring all families and their healthcare providers, childcare providers, community, and public health services have support for breastfeeding.

A message from Kimi Watkins-Tartt, Public Health Director:
“Our health department works to ensure all families and their healthcare providers, childcare providers, community, and public health services have support for breastfeeding to help all babies get the best start in life.”
