Big Latch-On Set for Aug. 4

Mindful Moms of the Bluegrass is teaming up with the LFUCG Health Department to host the annual Big Latch On, set for Saturday, Aug. 4 from 9 to 11 a.m. at Pleasant Ridge Park in Lexington.

The Big Latch On is part of an international effort to set a record for most babies breastfeeding at a set time during World Breastfeeding Week. In 2017, more than 17,700 babies were fed during the Latch On across 23 countries.

At the Lexington event, families can learn about local breastfeeding resources, receive a free latch-check, play trivia, and enjoy children’s activities and refreshments.

Door prizes include gift cards from local businesses, children’s books, a brand new Britax convertible car seat from Lexington Family Magazine and more.
