Big Latch On 2011

For World Breastfeeding Week we hosted one of the many locations for the Big Latch On. At our location we had over 80 attendees - lots of mamas, babies, toddlers, and daddies. We ended up with 27 mamas with children latched on for the 1 minute synchronized nursing session. I have to say, this was a powerful minute. Several mamas were teared up during that quiet minute of milky magic. Even when at a La Leche League meeting not everyone is nursing at the same time, so I have not experienced a room full of children nursing at the same time. It was fan-tas-tic!! I want to do that every weekend!

Vendors we had there:

And All That Scrap - mama cloth and cloth nursing pads

My Little Butter Bean - cloth diapers, bibs, burp cloths

Krunchy Creations - nursing necklaces and babylegs

Sugar Plum Creations - cloth napkins, family cloth, cloth wipes

Cover My Heart - nursing covers with pillow support
