Welcome to the New York Statewide Breastfeeding Coalition. The NYSBC is an advocacy not for profit organization focusing on issues that affect breastfeeding.  



Action Alert: Ask your U.S. Representative and US Senators to co-sponsor and support the Breastfeeding Promotion Act. The Breastfeeding Promotion act includes two provisions that would protect and expand working mother’s right to beastfeed by:

 

  • Amending civil rights law to protect breastfeeding mothers from being fired or discriminated against in the workplace.

 

  • Extending the existing federal provision to ensure that an additional 13.5 million executive, administrative, and professional employees including teachers, have break time and a private place to pump in the workplace.
