The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) is launching a statewide campaign to uplift, empower, and support families throughout their infant feeding journeys. While breastfeeding is a deeply personal experience, clinical evidence shows that parent success depends heavily on a strong, supportive care network. RIDOH is partnering with healthcare professionals, community health centers, and clinical practices across Rhode Island to help bridge the gap between clinical care and community support.
