South Sound Lactation Network We meet the 2nd Monday of month. Join Us! www.SouthSoundLactationNetwork.org

The South Sound Lactation Network is a non-profit organization focused on encouraging and promoting human milk feeding in the South Sound region of Washington State and beyond. In addition to supporting the BCW’s statewide efforts we work to support and educate our own community by proving resources, education, and support to parents, medical professionals, and businesses. Some of our activities a

nd ongoing efforts include

• Breastfeeding Welcome Here Campaign
• Medical Professional Breastfeeding Conferences
• Physician’s Education Modules
• SSLN Resource Guide
• World Breastfeeding Week Events

Additionally we have staffed information tables at the Olympia’s Farmer’s Market, the Thurston County Business expo, and the Thurston County Fair (where we also sponsored a mom’s breastfeeding area). Some of our members also speak at local high schools sharing breastfeeding information. Some of our past efforts include providing breastfeeding gift bags to area hospitals for new moms and breastfeeding books to doctor’s offices for their waiting rooms.
