Despite the chilly, rainy weather dozens of moms, dads and babes gathered at Rotary Park Oct. 1 in Cranbrook to celebrate Breastfeeding Week.

We had our official ‘latch-on’ at 11 a.m. local time, joining with over 100 other sites around the world to record the number of moms and babes participating in the Quintessence Foundation’s Annual Breastfeeding Challenge.

This year we reported 55 moms and 57 babes breastfeeding. We were overwhelmed with the community support we received in the way of door prize donations and ‘swag bag’ contributions.

A huge shout out to Diane Cameron, Jessica Swanson, Hayley Moldenhauer, Alyssa Quick, and Daleen Bybee for all pulling together another fabulous challenge for Cranbrook and Kimberley families.
