NMC is a non-affiliated, non-profit organization whose goal is to help mothers enjoy a relaxed and happy feeding relationship with their babies by providing breastfeeding information and support. Most of our help can be provided over the telephone, but we also offer home visits to resolve difficult problems. NMC services are provided without fee or obligation.
NMC believes it is the mother's choice how long she breastfeeds her baby, and we will support her breastfeeding goals. We also believe that working and nursing are compatible. Because we believe that the patient-doctor relationship is very important, each Chapter of NMC works closely with its own Medical Advisory Board.

The following numbers are our 24-hour referral hotlines. You can get free breastfeeding information and support from one of our volunteer mothers. The links go to specific chapter information, such as quarterly newsletters, breast pump rentals and supplies, and chapter recruiting.

San Francisco Bay Area Chapter (650) 327-6455
Santa Cruz Chapter (831) 621-8412
