Las tasas de lactancia en la comunidad negra siguen siendo más bajas que las de otras comunidades, lo que pone de relieve la necesidad de aumentar la concientización, el apoyo y la educación. 💖

¡Acompáñenos a celebrar la 15.ª edición anual de la Semana de la Lactancia Materna Negra! 🤱🏿 El tema de este año, “Solo nos tenemos unos a otros”, pone de relieve la importancia de la lactancia, honra a las familias, la cultura y la comunidad negras y da prioridad al poder colectivo y a la unión.

¡Y el WIC está aquí para ayudar! Escuche a dos consultoras de lactancia certificadas por la Junta Internacional (IBCLC) hablar sobre lo que están haciendo en sus comunidades para apoyar a las mujeres y familias negras y sobre cómo el WIC puede apoyarla durante su experiencia con la lactancia: https://signupwic.com/es/news/supporting-black-mothers
