Colorado Workplace Accomodations for Nursing Mothers Act

The law: Information on the Colorado law and mothers’ legal right to breastfeed their babies.

The Coalition completed a series of four YouTube videos designed to motivate, educate and inspire moms to keep breastfeeding after returning to work. The coalition harnessed the power and reach of social media to share information with new mothers. Each video brings together clips of real moms telling their stories about how and why they continued breastfeeding after going back to work, the obstacles they encountered, the strategies that helped them succeed, and the outcomes they enjoyed -- from health to bonding -- and how their employers benefited too.

Welcome to the Colorado Breastfeeding Coalition

Founded in 1990, the Colorado Breastfeeding Coalition, COBFC is a volunteer organization comprised of physicians, nurses, public health officials, nutritionists, dietitians, lactation consultants, counselors, and members of the business community who have led the way for Colorado children to be breastfeeding at the highest rates in the nation. The coalition works closely with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children to reach communities which have historically had low breastfeeding rates.

Our Mission:

To ensure optimal health and development of mother/infant bonding by increasing Colorado breastfeeding rates, particularly among underserved populations.
