What We Do
OCHD is working toward increasing the number of facilities that are awarded and/or designated as breastfeeding friendly. In turn, these actions will promote and support breastfeeding in our community.
Who We Serve
Women and children who breastfeed in Onslow County.
How We Impact
Breastfeeding improves the likelihood of infants achieving better health outcomes and provides a host of health benefits for mother and baby. OCHD will collaborate with community partners to improve breastfeeding rates through improving community access and support for nursing mothers and babies. By increasing the number of local businesses and partners who are designated as being breastfeeding friendly, more mothers will have access to supportive environments and be encouraged to breastfeed.
