Event Recap: The Big Latch On

Event Recap: The Big Latch On

Thursday, 8/18/2016

August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month, and we kicked it off to a great start during World Breastfeeding Week at the Family Expo and Big Latch On. Held at Fort Worth’s Botanic Garden, the event featured family-friendly vendors and a silent auction.

During the Fort Worth Big Latch On, 277 children latched simultaneously for one minute. Three moms expressed milk during this time, and 12 sets of multiples latched. Moms and children participated in the Big Latch On all over the world, with events held across the globe during World Breastfeeding Week.

Below is a gallery of photos collected throughout the day. We’re already looking forward to another great event next year!
