The mission of the South Carolina Breastfeeding Action Committee is to coordinate statewide efforts that publicize the need for legislation that will protect, support and promote breastfeeding in South Carolina.

South Carolina is now one of 47 states THAT CURRENTLY HAVE legislation in effect regarding breastfeeding.

In our continuing efforts, the SCBAC believes that promoting breastfeeding as normal and natural in all settings is an absolute necessity. Thus, our current initiative involves promoting breastfeeding in the workplace and acting toward legislation to protect nursing/pumping mothers at their place of employment. Our mission...
~ To support breastfeeding/pumping women in the workplace, which decreases business costs for employers.
~ To help mothers maintain lactation, which helps build a highly skilled, capable workforce of women.
~ To foster a favorable climate for employers and their employees by pumping at work.
~ To improve the quality of life for all South Carolinians by mothers providing the gold standard of infant feeding, breastfeeding.
