This Saturday, Southern Community Park will be the local site for individuals wishing to participate in the World Breastfeeding Challenge, an attempt to break the record for the most babies breastfeeding and an event designed to raise awareness about the benefits of breastfeeding.
The event runs from 9:30 a.m. to noon, with “The Big Latch-On†starting at 11 a.m. In addition to the main event, there will be information and advice for pregnant and breastfeeding women and drawings for door prizes.
This event is coordinated by Piedmont Health Services in conjunction with UNC Hospitals and the Orange County Health Department.
