Are you ready to find out the details for the
San Diego Latch On 2023?
Celebrate World Chest/Breastfeeding Week with us at the San Diego Latch On event! Join the San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation, and our amazing sponsors - First 5 San Diego, Kindred Bravely, Baby Tula, Little Star Dentistry, and UCSD Extended Studies, in a fun-filled event for the whole family! This year’s event will be in Allied Garden Recreation Park . While you wait for the actual Latch On to occur (at 10:30a), you can set up a picnic, hang out in the playground, peruse the vendor booths (you won’t want to miss these!), check out the Babywearing Demo and Parent/Me Yoga, and bid on our awesome auction items!
The first 100 attendees to check in will get a free tote bag with goodies, samples and resource materials from our local partners!
The San Diego Latch On event serves as one of our major fundraisers for our non-profit organization, the San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation. San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation believes it is our duty as birth and perinatal workers to provide equal access to lactation support, regardless of economic status or ethnicity. But we know there is still racial and economic disparity with regards to access and representation in both lactation support and other crucial pre/postpartum healthcare.
That is why our Foundation provides free/low-cost lactation support to our community members who identify as low-income or BIPOC, and offer scholarships to BIPOC individuals seeking to become Lactation Professionals.
