This Saturday will bring the third annual Breastfeeding on the Bluff event in downtown St. Joseph. The Berrien County Health Department’s Gillian Conrad tells WSJM News hundreds of moms will head to the bluff across the street from the library to take part.

“Breastfeeding on the Bluff is a really neat event and part of the Global Big Latch-On, which is a global breastfeeding celebration where moms across the globe are linked in simultaneous breastfeeding,” Conrad said.

Conrad says breastfeeding is the healthiest way to feed a baby, and all mothers are encouraged to do it. Breastfeeding on the Bluff and the Big Latch-On are intended to help normalize the practice. The event this Saturday will start at 10 a.m. There will also be games and face painting for the kids.
