Change the way you speak about #breastfeeding toddlers. They are not “still” breastfeeding. It is not “extended” breastfeeding. They are breastfeeding. It is breastfeeding. That is it. That is all. Delete the adjective. #normalizebreastfeeding

Tanefer asks - does the lactation field need to be more diverse. Let's consider #breastfeeding rates & systemic racism. #APHA2020 @theblackcourse

#APHA2020 Tanefer Camara - @theblackcourse is also for training non-Black healthcare providers so they understand the context and how to approach #breastfeeding education in a way that understands the history and the trauma that #Black parents have experienced.
