Breastfeeding advocacy

Hello Ann,

On of the ways you can advocate for breastfeeding in Orange County is to become a member of the Orange County Breastfeeding Coalition.

The OCBFC promotes and supports breastfeeding and breastfeeding families. Among the members of the coalition are physicians, lactation consultants, public health nurses, nutritionists, La Leche League leaders and just people who are interested in breastfeeding.

There are several levels of membership possible: individual memberships, professional memberships and corporate memberships (for instance for hospitals and physicians offices).

The coalition holds a general meeting once every other month and in the alternate months there are board meetings. Both meetings are open to members.

To learn more about the coalition, please visit the website:

Next general meeting will be November 20 at 12:30 in Costa Mesa.

Other ways to support breastfeeding in Orange County is to support the local LLL groups through membership and contributing to fundraisers.

Both the coalition and LLL are volunteer organizations, so there is always an urgent need for funds.
