NYC Breastfeeding Leadership Committee

  

World Breastfeeding Week is almost here!

 

 

Tens of thousands of people around the world will celebrate World Breastfeeding Week -August 1 – 7, 2010

 

Join the NYC Breastfeeding Leadership Committee’s Annual Subway Caravan

on

Friday, August 6, 2010

 We have invited Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney and State Senator Liz Krueger to speak at a Press Conference at 11:30 AM in front of the Ross Berrie Center of NY Presbyterian Hospital where we will honor several businesses for their commitment to breastfeeding.

 

Then we will “Take the ‘A’ Train” from 168th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue to the BABE Annual World Breastfeeding Fair at Restoration Plaza in Brooklyn (1368 Fulton Street – between NY and Brooklyn Avenues) – subway stop on the “A” train is Nostrand Avenue

 
Invite your friends and family. 

Breastfeeding families, their partners,

 babies, children and all breastfeeding

advocates are encouraged to particpate.

 

Our goal is to have dozens of moms and babies breastfeeding

on the subway … in our Subway Caravan …

to promote and support breastfeeding … and

to let everyone know that

women can breastfeed any place in NYS that

they and their baby are allowed to be. 

       We always get good “press” coverage … so wear a happy smile. 

And bring placards with wonderful breastfeeding messages!

 

      We have two key meeting places:

Ø     Manhattan/Bronx:  Leaving from 168th and St. Nicholas Avenue (by the Ross Berrie Center of NY Presbyterian Hospital).  We will board the “A” Train at 12 noon!
