The African American Breastfeeding Network will be holding the 9th Annual Lift Up Every Baby! to celebrate cultural norms, birth, health, wellness, breastfeeding, and the resiliencies of Black families, and communities. The event location is the beautiful Heritage Green Park (62nd/Custer) in the Silver Spring and Best Baby Zone neighborhoods. This year’s theme highlights the joys of the journey of parenthood, the beauty and blessings of birth and babies. The event kicks off with an opening cultural ceremony of ‘lifting babies up’ as a way to demonstrate what we wish and hope for our children and our community. Families will enjoy health stations, baby shower express, book-bag giveaway, a community dinner, and much more! We are expecting 75 – 100 pregnant people, and first-time parents/families. Lift Up Every Baby! takes place annually during National Black Breastfeeding Awareness Week (August 23-28)— which parallels World Breastfeeding Awareness Month.
