💬 Let’s Talk: Is This Supplement Helping or Hurting?

Ever been told to “just take this” while pregnant or nursing? Or, perhaps told NOT to take certain medications—without real explanation? Supplements, medications, and even herbal remedies can impact your baby’s safety and your body’s recovery.

Join us for a free workshop during Black Breastfeeding Week:

🗓️ Wednesday, August 27th
🕖 7 PM ET
💻 Live on Zoom

Safe to Take? Breastfeeding + Medications + Supplements
Led by pharmacist Dr. Kimberly White, this session will explore what’s safe, what’s not, and how to protect your health and your baby’s during the perinatal period.

Perfect for parents, doulas, nurses, and anyone committed to informed care

Birthing the Magic Collaborative celebrates Black Breastfeeding Week by centering truth, safety, and support.

✨ Why This Week Matters

Black breastfeeding is often overlooked, under-supported, and stigmatized—despite its powerful impact on the health of both mom and baby.

Systemic racism, lack of culturally aligned care, biased provider interactions, and myths within and outside our communities have all contributed to Black women breastfeeding at lower rates. Many of us never see ourselves in breastfeeding campaigns. Some are discouraged at birth. Others are simply never told they can.

But here’s the truth: breastfeeding is ancestral. It’s powerful. And when supported, it can be beautiful.

Breastfeeding reduces risks of:

• Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

• Childhood asthma

• Obesity

• Postpartum depression

And still—it’s your choice. Informed decisions and culturally safe care are the foundation. That’s where we come in.
