As we honor World Breastfeeding Week at the beginning of August, the importance of breastfeeding in early childhood development and maternal health comes into sharp focus. But the challenge is clear: data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals only 55.8% of U.S. mothers are still breastfeeding six months after birth, a figure that drops to 35.9% at the 12-month mark.
This reality highlights the crucial need for ongoing, practical support that continues beyond both this designated week, and National Breastfeeding Month (taking place all August). Recognizing this, Momcozy, a standout in the maternity and infant care industry, is set to host a special event in Arizona on August 12th, to sustain the vital dialogue on breastfeeding and provide tangible support to breastfeeding mothers.
Aptly named 'Cozy Power,' Momcozy's eagerly anticipated event offers more than just a gathering - it's a treasure trove of indispensable resources and networking opportunities for breastfeeding moms and maternity professionals. The event, set to take place in Scottsdale, Arizona, will draw a convergence of renowned organizations, esteemed breastfeeding experts, and media personnel. What truly makes this event stand out in the crowd, though, is its unique and fitting theme - "Real Support for Breastfeeding Moms."
Aligned with this theme, attendees can look forward to a variety of educational and exclusive features, including direct consultations with experts in the breastfeeding field. These hands-on sessions aim to provide mothers with accurate and reliable information on breastfeeding, helping them navigate common challenges and misconceptions.
In all this Momcozy will play a facilitative role between experts and attendees, to empower breastfeeding mothers with the educational and practical resources that they need. Likewise, the brand will use the event to introduce its Breastfeeding Support Fund which aims to remove financial barriers and promote access to vital breastfeeding education. Furthermore, the fund gives moms the opportunity to gain professional skills and contribute to the wider breastfeeding community.
Participants in the seminar will have the opportunity to try out products, and stand a chance to win an array of prizes, gift boxes, and certificates, all courtesy of Momcozy.
Happening concurrently with the seminar, moms can also join in on the 'gASP I'm Breastfeeding' photoshoot while in attendance. Orchestrated by local photographer Alicia Samone, the photoshoot takes place to challenge societal norms and illuminate the challenges tied to breastfeeding. Highlighting Momcozy's past and continued dedication to the cause, the company has sponsored the 'gASP I'm Breastfeeding' photoshoot for the last two years and counting.
Besides the event, Momcozy is also showing support for breastfeeding moms this World Breastfeeding Week and beyond, as a Media Partner with esteemed pregnancy and parenting outlet, 'The Bump.' With this partnership, Momcozy aims to further extend the reach of the conversation on lending real support to breastfeeding moms.

Whether you're a mom seeking real, tangible support or someone looking to understand and engage in the crucial conversation around breastfeeding, Momcozy's Cozy Power seminar on August 12th presents a great opportunity to experience what "Real Support for Breastfeeding Moms" actually looks like.
