Global Big Latch On events take place at registered locations around the world, where people gather together to breastfeed and offer peer support to each other. This Saturday, we will be attending this event to show support to the community and join this celebration to promote and support breastfeeding. Volunteers from within the community host each location, hosting a Global Big Latch On event creates a lasting support network for the community.
