Pledge to make a difference, together.
Our mission is to improve the lifelong health of our community through the promotion and support of breastfeeding. We strive to provide professional breastfeeding education and consultation, encouragement, support, and public awareness to the families of our community, as well as to serve as a model for community lactation support. Because the cost of professional lactation support which is rarely covered by health insurance is a primary and persistent barrier to breastfeeding success, BNF's services are delivered without charge to all Northern Berkshire families, and all mothers giving birth at North Adams Regional Hospital (NARH).
