Welcome to the American Academy of Pediatrics Breastfeeding Initiatives Web site!
The AAP is here to help you with breastfeeding whether you are a parent, professional, advocate for breastfeeding — or all 3. Advocating for children through the protection, promotion, and support of breastfeeding is a high priority for the AAP. On this site, you will find information for families about our breastfeeding recommendations, advocacy materials, and resources for health professionals who want to learn more about the importance of their role in supporting breastfeeding families.
Section on Breastfeeding Members and Chapter Breastfeeding Coordinators will also find many valuable resources on this site. Simply log in to the AAP Member Center to view the pages we have created especially for you. Not a member of the Section on Breastfeeding yet?
