The Big Latch On

It is groups of breastfeeding woman coming together at registered locations all around the world to latch their child at a set time.  All the breastfeeding women and children are latched on for one minute at the set time and are counted by witnesses.  The numbers are added up and we see if we beat previous Big Latch On records or maybe even the world record!  Join LLL of Sandy for this event at our Mini Café on Saturday, August 4, 2012 at 10:30am.  Please arrive at 10:00am to get registered and settled for the one minute event from 10:30am-10:31am.

2012 Breastfeeding Café

Have you heard about the Breastfeeding Café?  Wondering what it's all about?  Read this excerpt from the Breastfeeding Café website.  For more information visit http://breastfeedingcafe.wordpress.com/.  To volunteer to help at the café email Renee at reneeyeoman@gmail.com.

The Breastfeeding Cafe is an outreach project of the Utah Breastfeeding Coalition.  Our goals are to…
1. Show that breastfeeding is normal
2. Inspire thought and conversation about breastfeeding
3. Encourage relationships among breastfeeding advocates
The Breastfeeding Cafe grew from the needs of nursing mothers, including local mom Susan Johnson who wished for a welcoming spirit and place while nursing her own daughter in the 90s.  A Utah Breastfeeding Coalition member, La Leche League Leader and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Susan envisioned a gathering place in which nursing mothers and their children would be welcomed in the community.
An annual Coalition event, The Breastfeeding Cafe is possible thanks to the generosity and nurturing spirit of volunteers from all over the valley.   Together with our sponsors and visitors we look forward to a time when every day is one of acceptance for nursing families.
Thank you for celebrating the everyday importance of breastfeeding!
