Before baby arrives

Alabama's statewide breastfeeding coalition
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Breastfeeding is natural — but it isn't always easy. Whether you're expecting, home with a newborn, or months in and running on empty, Alabama Breastfeeding Committee connects you with real people who can help, right where you live.

How we help
Support for every stage of the journey
Feeding a baby isn't one decision — it's a hundred small ones. We connect you to trusted help through all of them.
02
In the hospital
Those first feeds matter. Alabama's Baby-Friendly hospitals are trained to support you from the very first latch — and we can tell you which ones are near you.
03
The first weeks home
This is when most families need help the most — and when it's hardest to ask. We can point you to lactation clinics, home visits, and support closer than you think.
04
Ongoing support
Whether you breastfeed for two weeks or two years, there's a community for you. Free support groups meet all across Alabama — come as you are.
