Support Our Mission

For 30 years, we have been bringing doctors together to provide evidence-based solutions to the challenges facing breastfeeding across the globe. A vast body of research has demonstrated significant nutritional, physiological, and psychological benefits for mothers and children that last well beyond infancy. However, while breastfeeding is the foundation of a lifetime of health and well-being, clinical practice lags behind scientific evidence.

We built a global community of medical doctors with diverse backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and specialties. Through its worldwide membership, peer-reviewed journal, Fellowship in Breastfeeding Medicine, Annual International Meeting, and partnerships with other organizations, we created a network of experts and advocates to drive medicine forward in this crucial area.

By building on our legacy of research in this field and sharing it with the broader medical community, we can overcome barriers, influence health policies, and change behaviors.
