General Education
Dear IEBfC Members and Friends,
In light of COVID-19 and social distancing recommendations for California and the US and the closure of many public venues and the need to focus on our families our Inland Empire Breastfeeding Coalition Board has made the following decisions regarding our EDUCATION SESSIONS.
We will continue with our weekly check in webinars and starting August 2020 we will host our General Education Meetings via Zoom.

Thank you for your understanding and we are working hard to ensure our future educational sessions will continue.We hope you are able to take this time to focus on your family and your health.

Meetings are open to all health care professionals and community members​
IEBFC supports the mother-baby dyad: babies and their siblings are welcome. Please bring quiet toys to share.
