Stratford mums joined in the international Big Latch On on Saturday to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week which takes place this week.
The latch on event, which began in New Zealand, is now international - last year a record 14,536 children were recorded as being fed at events across the world.
The Stratford mums and their children met at Te Whare Whanau, the Stratford maternity unit, to enjoy a morning tea, with host Jamie Swan overseeing the event.
Jamie, who is the chairperson of the Kindergarten Taranaki Association, says she was asked by local midwife, and director of the maternity unit, Sharon Robinson, to host this year's latch on event.
"I have had all my children with Sharon, and believe in the importance of supporting breastfeeding as a healthy, free and natural option for mothers to feed their children, so I was happy to get involved."
