Breastfeeding World – A commitment to perseverance and advocacy

Back in late 2013, after having been harassed for nursing in public (with a cover). Alexia Garcia, a NYC based family photographer, decided it was time to use her skills for the better. Helping mothers in her community and around the world quickly became her focus.

Alexia’s main goal was to encourage mothers to embrace all forms of breastfeeding while understanding their rights. Together, with her support system (brother, Christian & mother, Bella Garcia) she conceived and founded Breastfeeding World.

What started as a beautiful photo project, rapidly became a powerful global movement. Families around the world were able to access with firsthand information about all-things motherhood related.

 

Sharing the breastfeeding love

Through our years of hard work, Breastfeeding World has aimed to showcase the beauty and essence of breastfeeding. Our powerful images allowed for this project to evolve into a strong growing community. Women are able to find guidance, support & encouragement to nurse confidently.

Since its conception, Breastfeeding World has strived to be artistic and creative. We provide our audience with curated images that showcase the reality and beauty of motherhood.

Our spirit of compassion and motivation towards motherhood, allows us to effectively connect with women around the world who seek support to become more confident their individual journeys.

Breastfeeding World began as an activism project using the art of photography.

Making history - empowering communities

In 2015, one of Breastfeeding World’s photo participants and volunteer, Lisa Maloney; had the idea of organizing an epic gathering.

With little less than a month, Alexia Garcia started putting together all the details that would lead to the very first NYC Big Latch On in the heart of Times Square.

We expected an average of 30 moms to participate. On August 1stof 2015, 69 breastfeeding mothers gathered in Manhattan-New York City to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week.

As a result, our very first breastfeeding celebration was a real success. Gathering a total of 104 participants, Breastfeeding World became the leader in iconic breastfeeding events in the East Coast.

To sum up, our events are full of expertise information, family activities, amazing photography and a sense of belonging like no other.
