PEACE, Inc. Head Start received recognition from the Onondaga County Health Department for our commitment to creating a lactation-friendly community. We extend heartfelt gratitude to the Breastfeeding, Chestfeeding, and Lactation Friendly New York (BFFNY) and Onondaga Public Health for their support through a grant. We are thrilled to collaborate with them to provide a comfortable and supportive space for our PEACE employees and families from our home-based programs and Head Start to express milk.
“I have always had a love and passion for helping with lactation and being a mom who has worked and pumped, looking for a cozy environment where all my needs can be met was hard. I wanted to be a part of the change and help make all the moms feel some relaxation when they are burning so much energy feeding their babies. We want moms to feel supported and know PEACE is lactation-friendly. This comes just in time for World Breastfeeding Week, which takes place from August 1 to 7. Make sure to take a moment to celebrate all the hard work you are doing. ” -Cassidy Thornton, Lactation liaison
” Breastfeeding is natural. It isn’t always natural like breathing (which is automatic), but rather like walking (which needs to be learned)” – La Leche League.
