We advocate for lactating familes at BMC and beyond. In addition to continuing to ensure Baby-Friendly care at BMC and access to lactation support, we are connecting with colleagues and organizations across Massachusetts to support lactating families across the state. Most recently we have given talks about non-gestational lactating parents to our colleagues and have written a policy on management of antenatally-expressed breastmilk in the hospital.
