“Big Latch On” Set For Saturday

Nursing mothers and their children are being invited to come to Hood River’s Jackson Park Saturday morning to take part in a worldwide effort to break a global record for women and children breastfeeding simultaneously.  The event dubbed “The Big Latch-On” is put on by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action as part of World Breastfeeding Week that started today.  Thousands of breastfeeding women and their babies gather in communities across the world to take part in the synchronized breastfeeding event.  Last year, 14,356 women and children took part.  The event begins at 10 a.m. in Jackson Park, with the actual simultaneous moment at 10:30.
