Have you seen the hype on social media about National Breastfeeding Month and wondered what it’s all about? Have you felt like it’s just an opportunity for people to brag about how long they have breastfeed their babies? This week IBCLC and host Lo Nigrosh discusses the purpose of National Breastfeeding Month and the various weeks devoted to elevating breastfeeding in different communities.

On this episode you will hear:

• The origin of National Breastfeeding Month
• The theme of each week
• The need to be nuanced when discusses advocacy
• Why Lo doesn’t refer to herself as a “lactavist”
