Latch On

A Latch On event is one that includes all breastfeeding families (and community members), inviting them to celebrate the natural beauty of breastfeeding as a beneficial bonding experience. View the video below for a glimpse at what a Latch On event looks like.

Two local Minnesota events include; Woodbury Friday at 4:30pm (info here) and Saint Cloud Saturday August 5th at 10am (info here). Other global events can be found ((here)).
​Although Doula Mae isn't hosting a latch on event we are excited to share daily educational posts about breastfeeding on our Facebook page. Each post will include a link in the description so you can easily find more information. We encourage you to share our posts, discuss the breastfeeding topic(s), and share your breastfeeding memories with us.
