Public Invited to Share Experiences and Ideas for Improving Local Breastfeeding Support

Breastfeeding Listening Sessions May 2025The Community Breastfeeding Collaborative invites community members to two upcoming listening sessions designed to gather input on breastfeeding experiences, challenges and needs throughout the Western Upper Peninsula. These sessions aim to strengthen local support for breastfeeding families based on feedback directly from those with lived experience.

Your voice matters whether you're a parent, caregiver, healthcare provider or community advocate. Attendees are encouraged to share their perspectives on current barriers and opportunities to improve our region's breastfeeding resources and support systems. Light refreshments will be served, and time will be provided after each session for informal conversation and community networking.
