MEDIA RELEASE – Sunday 4th August

The Big Latch On, an International Synchronized Breastfeeding Celebration for 
World Breastfeeding Week Final Count

On Friday 2nd August and Saturday 3rd August at 10:30am each day, women and 
their children came together round the world and breastfed simultaneously as 
part of the Big Latch On.

This year the Big Latch On has grown with 621 locations registered across 25 
countries and a new Big Latch On record of 14,518 children breastfeeding (all 
numbers are provisional).

“Numbers really are only a small part of the story though. This event is held 
to develop the support of local communities for families. I know many 
friendships were formed this morning and all those who were involved had lots 
of fun. It is really important that we continue to make breastfeeding in public 
a normal and supported part of having a child.”

“Congratulations everyone.”
