MidHudson Chocolate Milk was established by Chloe Vital in 2018. As a Black Breastfeeding mother, she sought to commune and celebrate with others that felt empowered by their nursing journey. When she realized such a space
did not exist she created
MidHudson Chocolate Milk.
Our organization is dedicated to examining colonialism’s impact on the cultural significance of the perinatal journey. Using root-cause analysis programming is created that uses lactation to reframe discipline as a practice that enhances an individual’s awareness and increases acts of autonomy.
Our “Lactation is a Language of Love” education program helps parents commit to their lactation journey with confidence.
Our professional development workshops offer providers, educators, and healthcare agencies an opportunity to examine and expand the beliefs attached to their care practices.
The resources we provide are meant to alleviate the stressors of postpartum recovery and reduce Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs).
Our community-building program offers birth and postpartum doula scholarship opportunities for residents in the Hudson Valley.
