💙 August is National Breastfeeding Month! 🩷

Strong families start with strong community support. This month, we’re celebrating the people and organizations in Dodge City and Ford County helping families access breastfeeding information, support, and resources.

🤱 Local breastfeeding resources:

• Ford County Breastfeeding Coalition - Local education, support, and connections for families
• Kansas Breastfeeding Coalition Inc. – Statewide breastfeeding resources and support
• CommonSpirit St. Catherine Hospital - Dodge City Breastfeeding Clinic – Breastfeeding education and one-on-one support
• Dodge City Pregnancy Support Center – Classes, support, and resources for new and growing families
• Lactancia Latina en el Suroeste de Kansas – Breastfeeding support for Spanish-speaking families
• Ford County WIC Department – Nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and resources for eligible families

Support matters. A welcoming conversation, reliable information, workplace support, or connecting a family to the right resource can help reduce barriers and make a lasting difference. Let’s continue building a community where every family feels supported, informed, and welcomed.
