I know there are lots of mums who cant, wont or simply choose a different option to breastfeeding their baby and I always maintain that it is a personal choice but its fantastic that we can celebrate breastfeeding, not just nationally but across the world.

World Breastfeeding Week runs from the 1st -7th August 2012 and there are events running across the world with the Big Latch On. They are hoping to break the record for the most women breastfeeding simultaneously on Friday 3rd August & Saturday 4th August.

For those that dont know, "The Big Latch On supports communities with identifying and growing opportunities to provide ongoing breastfeeding support and promotion. The key to the Big Latch On's success is allowing communities to hold their Big Latch On events, empowering them to create an event that relates to the people of their community, while still taking part in a worldwide event.

For those that read my very personal post during National Breastfeeding Week, you will know that my little one is now fiercely independant and I sometimes wonder if the comfort was as much for me as it was for her. So unfortunately we wont be able to "physically" take part in the Big Latch On this year but support every mum and their baby in raising awareness and celebrating nature at work. I hope you do too!
