Our first celebration was for World Breastfeeding Week with a “Milk and Cookies” theme. Honeysuckle Tea House hosted our party and even made a special lactation tea blend for us! We had a great time drinking milk (babies), eating cookies (the rest of us), and jamming to music with Erica from Jammin Baby, LLC. It was a hot day, but we had a great time! Click here for the link to the Facebook album. Thank you so much to Sunshine Scoville for the beautiful photography!

Our second celebration was for Black Breastfeeding Week. Tracey, who you all know well from your visits in the lab, did an awesome job of coordinating this! Moms and their families made nursing necklaces, got gorgeous henna tattoos, enjoyed tasty snacks, and had breastfeeding portraits taken by the wonderful Sarah Stanley from Love at First Sight Photography. Check out our group shot above, and there are more photos to come – stay tuned to our Facebook page.

Thank you to everyone who helped with and attended these events – we had a great time celebrating with you and your sweet babies! We’re already looking forward to next year.
