The South Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition (SCBFC) promotes, protects and supports the art and science of human milk feeding as the superior form of nutrition and nurture for infants and young children. Through community and professional support and organization, SCBC works to ensure that breastfeeding, an important public health issue, will become the societal norm for feeding infants and young children in South Carolina.
South Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition (SCBC) is committed to diversity and inclusion. SCBC strives to support all breastfeeding, chestfeeding, and lactating families regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, family structure, primary language, ability, socioeconomic status, political affiliation, or employment status. SCBC seeks active membership of individuals to reflect the diversity present in the state.
