September 2025 Newsletter

The September 3rd LWPC meeting featured two presentations chosen in recognition of Breastfeeding Awareness Month. The goal was to highlight community resources and connect partners with organizations that can support breastfeeding parents at events, helping make all of Cincinnati a more breastfeeding-friendly city.


All Moms Empowered to Nurse (AMEN)

AMEN shared an overview of their services and the powerful impact their work is having in Cincinnati. Their efforts focus on empowering and supporting mothers through education, resources, and culturally responsive care. AMEN reported impressive results in narrowing breastfeeding disparities across the city, demonstrating how community-driven approaches can make meaningful, measurable change.


Hutch Baby

Hutch Baby provided an engaging look at their unique services designed to support families in Cincinnati, including the Hutch Baby mobile van, which provides a safe and comfortable space to breastfeed during events. In addition to their existing offerings, they previewed upcoming initiatives, ensuring families have the support they need while traveling or participating in community activities.


This month’s meeting reinforced the importance of collaboration in advancing equity, supporting families, and creating a more breastfeeding-friendly Cincinnati.
