We at Helping Us Grow, ICHD’s Black Doula Program, want to uplift and celebrate the incredible caregivers who are breastfeeding!

Breastfeeding is the first gift to their child - a connection to lineage, love, and nourishment all wrapped in a powerful liquid. Your dedication fuels growth, strength, and community.

Are you looking for extra support during pregnancy or birth? Do you have questions about labor, birth, or what to expect? Have you considered working with a doula?

A doula is a trained support professional who guides, assists, and coaches you through pregnancy, labor, and beyond. And the best part…doulas are more accessible than ever thanks to many online directories and community-based programs.

Explore your options and find the support that feels right for you!
