Notes regarding time
It is a good habit to call ahead before attending an event, as sometimes events cancel; details/times/venues change; our system has a glitch or we make an error.Description
The Latch On will take place at 10:30am. Please arrive early to get yourself settled so everyone an latch on at the same time.
Last year almost 60,000 people around the world took part in the Global Big Latch On, demonstrating their support for breastfeeding. 22,592 breastfeeding parents attended events held in their community and virtually. At the specified time, over 21,500 children ‘latched’ and were breastfed.
With 778 events taking place in 28 countries, this synchronized breastfeeding event as part of World Breastfeeding Week supports and celebrates breastfeeding families in the community they live in.
Join us this year to celebrate International Breastfeeding Week!
We recognise that everyone’s breastfeeding journey looks different and we want the Global Big Latch On to be as fun and inclusive as possible, while still reaching our aims of positively supporting breastfeeding in public and making it a normal part of day to day life.
You can be included in the latch count by latching a child or children; using an supplemental nursing system or nipple shield; expressing milk (hand or pump) or by feeding your child breast milk via an alternative method. Remember no one checks for milk transfer, children do not have to stay latched for the whole time and all ages are very welcome.
