Welcome!
The OCBFC is the only non-profit multi-disciplinary breastfeeding organization Orange County, California!
The OCBFC was established in 1997 through the leadership of the Orange County Health Ca Agency. Since this initial formation, the members of the OCBFC have been actively engaged in “Making Breastfeeding the Cultural Norm” through progressive and innovative programs and ventures. A few examples of these are: Creation of a non-profit organization (March 2001); Teen Mother Breastfeeding Series; Supporting the Breastfeeding Family programs; Strategic collaborations and partnerships with other local non-profit and governmental organizations; Leading the county-wide efforts at the establishments of milk depots in Orange County that will not only increase the milk donor base for Orange County but also promote the use of pasteurized donor milk in our local hospitals. Physician, Nurses, Nurse Practicioners, International Board Certified Lactation Consultants, Lactation Educators, Health Educators, Registered Dieticians, Social Workers, Breastpump Manufacturers, Stay-At-Home Moms, Teachers, and Lawyers represent a small sampling of who makes up the membership at the OCBFC. Each brings to the organization a unique talent and perspecitve that allows us the freedom to see that the path to making breastfeeding cultural norm is not a straight line. We like that! To become a member, just download a copy of our membership brochure, or sign up via Click and Pledge here, and you are on your way.
