Join us for our 2024 Educational Events
We are honored to invite you to join the San Diego County Breastfeeding Coalition (SDCBC) for a special webinar on October 24, 2024, focusing on the UC Health Milk Bank Cherry Blossom program. This compassionate initiative was created to support bereaved families following fetal demise or neonatal/infant loss.
The Cherry Blossom program fills a critical gap by offering education, supplies, and emotional support to grieving families. It helps guide mothers through the process of weaning or, if they choose, the option to pump and donate their milk. The program honors these mothers, and their babies are commemorated on a beautiful cherry blossom memorial mural. For many, donating milk becomes a healing part of their journey, allowing them to connect with their child, regain a sense of control, and contribute to saving the lives of other babies.
