    Welcome to the Early Childhood Nutrition & Breastfeeding Virtual Community!

    Welcome, infant and toddler nutrition champions! We are excited to have you join us and collaboratively work together to advance breastfeeding and early childhood nutrition. Initially, this space was dedicated to our regional nutrition security convenings, and we wanted to expand this space to include everyone dedicated to breastfeeding and early childhood nutrition. This virtual community aims to provide those interested in infant and young toddler nutrition and breastfeeding with a space to share resources, collaborate, and learn alongside each other as we implement interventions and improve access to opportunities to access nutrition and breastfeeding resources.  

     

    Meet the Team 

    Our Breastfeeding and Early Childhood Nutrition team at NACCHO is made up of passionate public health professionals dedicated to providing you with evidence-based resources, helpful tips, and a platform to connect with others who share your commitment to early childhood nutrition and breastfeeding. Our team includes two staff members, Freweyni 'Free' Gemerew and Talei Moore, who will be actively engaging in this space. Talei and Free will guide interesting discussions, answer questions, and help build a supportive and welcoming community for everyone.
