Breastfeeding Walk 2007

In celebration of Breastfeeding Awareness Month, Sonoma County breastfeeding advocates are participating in the statewide Breastfeeding Walk 2007 to celebrate breastfeeding as a first step to a healthy life.

To participate, meet at one of these locations at 12:00 noon on Tuesday August 7th:

Healdsburg:

Studies have documented the role of breastfeeding in preventing childhood obesity and other illness. The greatest protection is seen when breastfeeding is used exclusively, no formula or solid foods, and continues for at least the first 6 months of life.
