2019: Voices From New Beginnings

Shanice breastfeeding her daughter.

Over the past 12 months, New Beginnings has shared the breastfeeding, chestfeeding or human milk feeding stories of individuals and families in the hope of encouraging and informing those who click on a link or scroll through the pages of the blog. Our goal is always to provide information, resources, inspiration, or the recognition that you aren’t alone in your journey. We hope you enjoy looking back with us at 2019, as well as looking ahead to the stories and experiences that are waiting in 2020.
