The Texas Breastfeeding Coalition is a statewide, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to protecting, promoting, and supporting breastfeeding as the foundation of lifelong health.

We gather parents, healthcare providers, community leaders, and organizations. Our goal is to improve policies, systems, and environments. This helps Texas families meet their breastfeeding goals.

Together, the coalition promotes advocacy, education, and collaboration. We aim to help families in Texas get the resources, rights, and support they need for successful breastfeeding. We imagine a Texas where communities embrace breastfeeding. They understand its value as the normal way to feed and care for infants.
