Breastfeeding mums are invited to enjoy great company, morning tea, and be in to win awesome spot prizes at Big Latch On events in Rotorua, Taupo and Turangi next week.
Lakes District Health Board community lactation consultant Amy Wray said everyone was welcome to this fun event at relaxed babyand toddler-friendly venues to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week and its theme: Sustaining breastfeeding together!
"We're hoping to highlight the importance of families, peer supporters, community groups and health professionals working together to support breastfeeding," she said.
"It's a great opportunity to link with other mums, make new friends and get up to date information about services in our area. All are welcome."
The events are on August 4 at 10am at the Harvest Centre at 324 Malfroy Rd in Rotorua, the Taupo Parents Centre on AC Baths Ave in Taupo, and at the Hydro Cafe, 17 Ohuanga Rd, in Turangi.
The Big Latch On involves thousands of women from different cultures and backgrounds gathering together to breastfeed their babies at the same time. Women take part at registered venues throughout New Zealand as well as taking part online through the 'I latched on' selfie campaign.
