The Pennsylvania Breastfeeding Coalition was established in 1992 to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding as the cultural norm for infant feeding in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

 

Our members come from many backgrounds and contribute time, energy, and expertise to activities that support breastfeeding families.
