Native Breastfeeding week is August 9-15! Here at the NB3 Foundation we believe it is important to introduce healthy eating and drinking to our children at birth, INCLUDING breastfeeding! We’d like to take this opportunity to share the amazing work community partners are doing to make lasting policy, systems and environmental changes in their community to promote and support breastfeeding.
Tamaya Wellness Center is proud to welcome nursing mothers to use their available Lactation Station. “A mother’s milk is a baby’s first source of nutrients and breastfeeding creates a life-long nurturing connection between mother and child.” We are honored to be a funding partner to this great organization.
