NEW mums are invited to a picnic outside the John Radcliffe Hospital today to promote, normalise and celebrate breastfeeding.

The event, part of the global Big Latch On, will take place from 10.30am on the green space in between the Women’s Centre and the Manor Surgery.

Participants are asked to arrive from 10am so they can be registered by the Oxford Baby Cafe team and settled in, with partners, friends and supporters all welcome to join.

The Big Latch On is an annual event taking place at registered locations around the world, where women come together to breastfeed and offer each other support.
