Florida Community Breastfeeding Coalitions & Taskforces

FBC encourages every county or geographical area in Florida to have a Breastfeeding Coalition or Taskforce working collaboratively with the hospitals, government agencies and the community to protect, promote and support breastfeeding.

Click on the different counties to find one in your area. If there is not one in your county or area, perhaps you could either start one or encourage others to start one.
