Breast-Feeding Moms Try For Record

Item: 'Latch on,' and be part of a world record try: Saturday event for moms - and babies - part of World Breast Feeding Week/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: And while Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls and all other local mothers can be a part of making the top score topple, a baby is required. In recognition of World Breast Feeding Week, Kootenai Health and Mothers Haven are hosting The 'Big Latch On' this Saturday. Latch on? That's where the baby comes in. For the second year in a row, mothers are invited to bring a blanket or lawn chair and sit down and breast feed their babies together. The goal is to raise awareness for young mothers on breast feeding during its recognition week Aug. 1-7, but also to break the world record for the most mothers feeding their kids at once.

Question: Don't look at me, I'm not qualified to take part in this. Are you?
