United States Breastfeeding Committee Membership
The Missouri Breastfeeding Coalition is a proud member of the United States Breastfeeding Committee (USBC). Membership benefits from the USBC are passed on to our members including getting a seat at the table, access to exclusive tools, networking, and peer learning opportunities, exclusive discounts to conferences and trainings, and the opportunity for involvement.
Networking
Missouri Breastfeeding Coalition members are invited to join a private Facebook group to connect and build relationships year round.
Get Involved
We are always looking for people to get involved in advancing lactation throughout Missouri. We have an education, grant writing, legislative and conference planning committees. By working together, we are able to achieve big changes that would not be possible by one organization alone.
