H.Res. 662 — Expressing support for the designation of the week of August 25 through August 31, 2025, as "Black Breastfeeding Week".

This section recognizes that systemic and institutional racism creates greater barriers for Black women committed to meeting breastfeeding guidelines set out by Federal public health officials, that these barriers contribute to increasing health disparities leaving Black mothers and infants particularly vulnerable, and that disproportionate rates of maternal mortality and morbidity in the United States and the alarmingly high rates of maternal mortality among Black women are unacceptable. This section further recognizes that Congress must fully support and encourage policies ensuring Black parents have access to affordable health care, paid leave after the birth of a child, and appropriate places for breastfeeding mothers to express breast milk, and that Congress must work toward ensuring Black communities have adequate housing, transportation equity, nutritious food, clean water, environments free from toxins, fair treatment within the criminal justice system, safety and freedom from violence, a living wage, equal economic opportunity, and comprehensive, quality, and affordable health care.
