Tuolumne County Breastfeeding Coalition

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Breastfeeding has been proven to reduce the risk of breast cancer in both mom and baby. You can read more about the benefits to both mother and baby at the link below: https://www.mdanderson.org/publications/focused-on-health/breastfeeding-breast-cancer-prevention.h19-1589046.html

Hope to see you all at the October Baby Chat. We will be meeting near downtown Sonora. Come meet other pregnant and breastfeeding families.

Come see us at the ICEs Children going in tight now.

Every year the Tuolumne County Breastfeeding Coalition asks for nominations for the "Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace" of the year. This year two lovely employees at Tuolumne County Animal Control sent in nominations.

We are pleased to announce that Tuolumne County Animal Control won!

Officer Pfeiffer and RVT Christina both spoke about the support they are given as breastfeeding moms while at work. Even while out in the field, or helping evacuate animals from wildfires, their team bands together to support and protect breastfeeding!

Thank you to Tuolumne Co Animal Control for what you do for our community and the breastfeeding moms in the workplace.

The Tuolumne County Breastfeeding Coalition would like to introduce the first baby born during World Breastfeeding week! Congratulations to the Thomason Family! Welcome to the world, Brady!
