World Breastfeeding Week is August 1-7, 2011. The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action's theme is: Talk to Me: breastfeeding a 3D experience. The Texas Department of Health Services dedicates the entire month of August to breastfeeding activities and their theme is Every Ounce Counts: Helping Moms Achieve Their Breastfeeding Goals.
The San Antonio Breastfeeding Coalition (SABC) and North Central Baptist are celebrating with cake and punch on Aug. 8 at 1PM in the Atrium. As part of the activities, the coalition is sponsoring a new clothing drive to benefit the Children's Shelter of San Antonio. New childrens clothing of all sizes may be dropped off at the Lactation Center during business hours or at the Registration Desk in the Atrium after hours.
