What We Do

From those at NJBC, we thank everyone again for their special donations!
The New Jersey Breastfeeding Coalition is dedicated to promoting, protecting and supporting breastfeeding by working collaboratively.

The NJBC also stands with all people demanding an end to racism, injustice and violence. See NJBC’s statement Black Lives Matter and our statement New Jersey Breastfeeding Coalition Stands in Solidarity with Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
