August is National Breastfeeding Month, a time to recognize the importance of supporting families throughout their feeding journeys.
At the July 28, 2026, Board of Supervisors meeting, the Solano County Board formally recognized this observance. The meeting featured remarks from WIC Regional Breastfeeding Liaison, Andrea Dimas and a testimonial from Melina Madrigal, a graduate of the Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Program, who shared her personal breastfeeding journey and the impact that support had on her experience.
The observance continues with the 9th Annual Donor Human Milk Drive & Celebration on August 6, 2026, at 2101 Courage Drive in Fairfield. Join us to celebrate breastfeeding families, connect with local resources, and learn how you can support or donate human milk.
Donated human milk helps save the lives of vulnerable infants. If you're able, consider becoming a donor or helping spread the word about the lifelong benefits of breastfeeding for both babies and parents.
