Big Latch On + Chocolate Milk Screening:
A Baby Feeding Celebration and Conversation
Join us in Eugene for a CELEBRATION of baby feeding and CONVERSATION about how we can decrease barriers to providing human milk for all babies. This is a FREE event, with light refreshments provided. ALL supporters of human milk feeding (regardless of current feeding status) are welcome to attend! This includes (but is not limited to): 1) PARENTS who are lactating/nursing, exclusively pumping, feeding donor human milk, donating milk, or feeding human milk substitutes, and 2) PARTNERS/SUPPORTERS: partners or friends of parents, health professionals, people interested in reproductive health, business owners interested in supporting human milk feeding, and postpartum wellness advocates.
BIG LATCH ON
Via BigLatchOn.org: “Global Big Latch On events take place at registered locations around the world, where people gather together to feed human milk and offer peer support to each other. Global Big Latch On celebrates all breastfeeding, expressing and chestfeeding journeys and aims to strengthen national and global support for lactation and to improve the health of everyone. In 2018, 28 countries participated in the Big Latch On, with 778 individual event locations and over 60 thousand parents and supporters in attendance. At 10:30 AM local time, babies around the world latch on together - last year’s record was over 22k latched babies!”
CHOCOLATE MILK SCREENING
Via chocolatemilkdoc.com: “Chocolate Milk is a documentary exploring the racial divide in breastfeeding. From sexual objectification of women’s breasts to insufficient maternity leave, there are many reasons why parents in the U.S. struggle with breastfeeding. Yet advocates argue the long-term health benefits to infants - reduced risk of chronic disease, cancer, asthma and obesity - far outweigh the challenges. Chocolate Milk examines the influence of race and sex on breastfeeding rates for African American mothers through three women’s stories, exploring breastfeeding’s decline, the undue health burden this places on black infants, and the struggle to bring it back as a cultural norm. By creating an engaging narrative centered around the challenges of breastfeeding, Chocolate Milk will spark public discussion on how communities can better support black mothers.”
Schedule:
10:00-10:30 – Big Latch On, Mingling, Snacks
10:30-12:00 – Chocolate Milk Screening
12:00-12-30 – Discussion
Event goals: Celebrate baby feeding in all forms, make feeding human milk a normal part of day-to-day life at the community level, ensure all communities have the resources to advocate for coordinated appropriate and accessible feeding support services.
