Infant Feeding

La Leche League’s mission is to help mothers worldwide to breastfeed through mother-to-mother support, encouragement, information and education, and to promote a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important element in the healthy development of the baby and mother. La Leche League Leaders of Minnesota and the Dakotas are experienced parents who have breastfed or chestfed their babies and have been trained and accredited by La Leche League International to help parents and parents-to-be with all aspects of breastfeeding.

The Hmong Breastfeeding Coalition’s mission is to empower Hmong birthing people, parents, and families by creating brave spaces for learning, support, and healing; meanwhile, weaving together culture and the promotion of breast/chestfeeding and family health and well-being in the Hmong community.

The Minnesota Milk Bank for Babies aims to improve infant health outcomes by ensuring that medically vulnerable babies in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest have access to safely pasteurized life-giving donor human milk when mother’s milk is unavailable or in low supply.
