Mothers participating in last year’s Breastfeeding Challenge.

Ready, set, latch –Breastfeeding Challenge runs Saturday

Just a reminder that the 12th annual Breastfeeding Challenge takes place this Saturday between 10am and 12pm in Vancouver and North Vancouver. As part of World Breastfeeding Week celebrations, the challenge strives to set new yearly records for the most babies breastfeeding at one time.

  • Vancouver – Creekside Community Centre, 1 Athlete’s Way, from 10am to 12pm, with latch-on starting at 11am. This celebration is a free, all-ages event and will include a performance by The Ta Daa Lady.
  • North Vancouver – Royal Canadian Legion #118, Chris Lucas Room, 123 W. 15th Street, from 10am to 12pm, with latch-on starting at 11am. This is a free, all-ages event and will include door prizes and refreshments.

Participants who can’t make it to either of the Breastfeeding Challenge events in person can participate from home via the Vancouver Coastal Health Breastfeeding Challenge Facebook page. Just comment on the page at 11am on October 5th and let us know you’re participating. You will be included in the official VCH count.

Number counts will be submitted electronically at the time of latch-on, and results are posted on the Quintessence website.
