Black Breastfeeding Week is more than a celebration, it’s a call to honor traditions, break down barriers, and uplift Black families on their feeding journeys. From representation in healthcare to the vital role of Black IBCLCs, this week reminds us that every family deserves culturally rooted support, education, and community. At Sprouting Kare, we’re committed to creating spaces where parents feel seen, supported, and empowered this week and every week. 

Doulas play a vital role in supporting birthing people through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, offering emotional, physical, and educational care. This blog post explores the importance of having a doula, the many benefits they provide, and why every birthing person deserves this kind of support. Join us in making doula services accessible to all by donating, volunteering, or advocating for change. Together, we can ensure that no one has to navigate their birth journey alone.

The Day of the Black Infant is a nationally recognized observance dedicated to raising awareness about the health disparities that disproportionately affect Black infants and their families.

Honoring Black voices, histories, and futures during Black Maternal Health Week.

We’re honoring Black Maternal Health Week by amplifying the voices of Black birthing people and advocating for safe, respectful, and equitable care. Join us in the fight for birth justice because Black lives deserve to thrive before, during, and after birth.
