Help Us Build the Lactation Workforce!

Sweetest Nectar LLC Academy is launching a $25,000 CrowdShare campaign to expand access to lactation education, provide scholarships, develop new online courses, and strengthen mentorship for doulas, community health workers, and other professionals supporting families.

We’ve already trained professionals through our Comprehensive Lactation Training Course (CLTC), and now we’re ready to reach even more!

Every contribution, share, and word of encouragement helps.

Support our campaign and help us train the people who support families!

Expand access to lactation education by training doulas, community health workers, and professionals to support breastfeeding families.

Online predatory formula marketing is not innovation, it’s exploitation of moms.

📢 Attention Doulas! 📢

Are you looking to improve your lactation skills? Missouri Medicaid is now covering 2 lactation visits for participants receiving Medicaid, creating an incredible opportunity for doulas to expand their support for families! With maternal and infant health disparities continuing to impact our communities, culturally congruent lactation education is more essential than ever.

As a Lactation Advocate, I know that breastfeeding support is a crucial yet often overlooked factor in reducing maternal and infant mortality. Prenatal education and postpartum visits that include comprehensive lactation care can make a real difference in long-term breastfeeding success.
