Welcome to the Texas Breastfeeding Coalition website. 

The Texas Breastfeeding Coalition is a consortium of breastfeeding promotion groups, organizations that work with mothers and babies, and interested individuals from across the state. 

We hope you will join us in our efforts to increase breastfeeding rates in Texas and make breastfeeding the norm for all babies born in Texas!

There is a multitude of information on this website you can use in your local community to help promote breastfeeding. Please share with us the activities you are doing in your community to promote breastfeeding so we can share this information with others. If you have a breastfeeding coalition or task force, we can link to your website or you can have a page on this website to showcase your activities.
