Celebrating World Breastfeeding Day


On August 7th, many groups involved in Maternal/Child Health Care gathered at Austin City Hall to celebrate and show support for World Breastfeeding Day. The lobby of city hall was full of women, children, and families hoping to draw attention to the importance of breastfeeding to mothers, babies, and the environment.
