This week is all about encouraging, supporting, and empowering the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Mothers and Community. Close the Gap, Strengthen the Bridge.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Week, now in its second year, is when families and providers come together to celebrate the community that supports them and raise awareness of their unique needs. It runs September 16 to 22, and the 2026 theme is Close the Gap, Strengthen the Bridge: Community, Care & Connection. For those of us in lactation care, that awareness has a practical side: learning what a family's support already looks like before deciding what it needs.

Throughout National Breastfeeding Month and in every language, we have been celebrating the same thing: behind every successful breastfeeding, there is a community, and whether that community is in the room next door or appears on a phone screen, it helps the family during those first difficult weeks. Deaf and Hard of Hearing families are no different.

Every family deserves support and encouragement. Deaf families also deserve care providers who understand their culture, and it’s up to us to build that understanding.

The week is organized by the Deaf & Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Collective, who are also working to grow the number of Deaf and Hard of Hearing lactation care providers. Let's help them spread their message and keep building a community where every family can find support.

Let’s join Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities around the world in celebrating Deaf and Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Week, taking place September 16–22.

This special week is an opportunity to support, educate, empower, and strengthen Deaf and hard-of-hearing families by promoting inclusive breastfeeding support and ensuring that every mother feels seen, heard, and supported.

Theme: “Close the Gap, Strengthen the Bridge: Community, Care and Connection.”

Together, let’s close the gaps, build stronger connections, and create a more inclusive and supportive breastfeeding community for all. 🤍

As we celebrate every family this month during World Breastfeeding Week, let’s replace rumors with science!

​When parents have access to accurate, evidence-based information, they feel empowered to navigate their feeding journey with confidence.

​For World Breastfeeding Week, we’re busting 3 big myths that cause unnecessary stress for our new parents and families:

​1. Cluster feeding is normal. Feeding often doesn't mean your milk is low; it’s your baby’s way of building up your supply!

​2. Movement is safe. Light exercise won't hurt your milk supply or quality. Take care of your mind and body!

​3. Your milk is personalized. Breast milk is dynamically crafted by your body to nourish and protect your growing baby's immune system.

​📌 Save this post for those late-night feeding sessions or share it with an expecting friend who needs a boost today!

"This is exactly why we should prioritize skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth. Those first moments of direct contact between parent and newborn aren't just nice to have they're transformative. Every family deserves this meaningful beginning, and we have a responsibility to make it standard practice."

Skin-to-skin care isn't just for babies, it supports mom too.

A new 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis found that kangaroo mother care (prolonged skin-to-skin contact, often paired with breastfeeding) was associated with a significant reduction in postpartum depressive symptoms.

While skin-to-skin isn't a replacement for mental health care when it's needed, it's a simple, low-cost, evidence-based practice that may benefit both parent and baby.

The greatest effects were seen among parents of preterm infants, but the overall findings reinforce what we've long known: nurturing the parent-infant connection matters.

Skin-to-skin contact isn't only for releasing the placenta or the first couple days. This contact is beneficial long term.

Behind every nursing mother is a village that keeps her going. From dropping off meals to offering a listening ear, strong support directly boosts a mother's confidence and feeding success.
To the friends, sisters, and partners who say "You've got this" thank you for being a vital part of her care team. 💜Breastfeeding is a labor of love, but no mother should have to do it alone.

Let's be real breastfeeding is a beautiful journey, but it takes serious determination, especially on the hard days.

For some of you, it's those quiet bonding moments. For others, it's knowing the incredible health benefits you're giving your little one. Whatever your "why" is, that's what keeps you moving forward.
