Welcome!

The Oakland County Breastfeeding Coalition is a local grassroots organization, whose mission is to optimize state and community support of breastfeeding by leading collaborative actions for advocacy, education, and coalition building. The local coalition shares the same vision as the Michigan Breastfeeding Network; that our state and local communities recognize breastfeeding and human milk as the norm for infant and young child feeding, and that all families will live, work and receive support in a breastfeeding-friendly culture.

 When you see a need, meet the need, even if you need help from others to do it. The vision of one or two people can reach thousands. This is only the beginning.
