No longer in May, a last-minute decision has been taken nationally to have the event from June 20th to 27th, 2010. If you are organising any events for the week, let me know and I'll post details here.
The Big Breastfeed 2009
Newcastle's second annual Big Breastfeed was a huge success!
On May 15th (during National Breastfeeding Awareness Week), loads of mums and babies braved the rain to head to the Millenium Bridge for the event. Fortunately Natasha Moulding had made arrangements to move everything (but the bridge) into the Baltic, and everybody was able to dry off and pose for the cameras on the viewing platform on level 5.
The same photographer as last year was covering the event, and there was also a reporter from the Chronicle interviewing and taking pictures. If you head to the Chronicle online, you can buy prints of their photos (type "Big Breastfeed" into the search bar).
Here's an image from the Big Breastfeed 2008, at the Monument. We're making history here, ladies.
More information on the Big Breastfeed is available from Sure Start on (0191) 2739549.
Breastfeeding doesn't stop just because of torrential downpours!
Howay the lasses....
