The Big Latch On

Breastfeeding moms - let’s break the world record for the most women breastfeeding simultaneously! Join the ladies of La Leche League of Livermore/Mountain House for the annual synchronized breastfeeding event “The Big Latch On.” The event, held in honor of World Breastfeeding Week, will occur on Friday, August 2, 2013 at Flagpole Plaza, corner of Livermore Avenue and First Street, in Livermore. Moms and their nurslings are asked to arrive around 10 am to get registered and settled in. Shortly thereafter, all moms will be asked to “latch on!” for a full minute while we count the number of babies latched. After the event, we’ll have time to chat and socialize. Tell all your friends about this event – and hope to see you there! 

Make sure to bring: your nursling(s), a blanket to sit on, a hat/sunscreen, water and snacks
