Healthy Savannah, YMCA announce breastfeeding events

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – In celebration of National Breastfeeding Month in August, Healthy Savannah and partner organizations are supporting several events planned for new parents, those considering breastfeeding, and breastfeeding advocates.

“There are many struggles when parenting, but breastfeeding doesn’t have to be one of them,” said Nandi A. Marshall, DrPH, MPH, CHES, CLC, CDE. “We are working to connect families in the Savannah area, particularly in the Black and Hispanic communities, with the tools, skills, and knowledge to support their families at home, at work, and in the community.”
