Description
The mission of San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation (SDBFCF) is to reduce socioeconomic and racial disparities in chest/breastfeeding support by increasing access to qualified lactation consultants for marginalized groups, such as people of color and low-income families. We plan to accomplish this through: (1) subsidized lactation visits with International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC), (2) collaborations and trainings to improve culturally-relevant chest/breastfeeding knowledge among community practitioners, and (3) providing scholarships and internships for BIPOC women to support them in becoming IBCLCs.
