The Launch Party is an opportunity for breastfeeding families to meet La Leche League of Hunterdon County, NJ Leaders Laurice Adams, Alyssa Reaves, Caitlin Ryan Persche and Lisa Rotondi, as well as other breastfeeding families and supporters.
“Many mothers find breastfeeding support at La Leche, but they also find life-long friends. We’re excited to celebrate and encourage these kinds of connections at this special event,” said La Leche League Leader Laurice Adams.
Complimentary refreshments will be provided by local restaurants and bakeries like Blue Fish Grill, Factory Fuel, Teaberry’s Tea Room, Cook to Order, The Mixing Bowl, Virami’s Pizza, Main Street Bagel, The Lovin’ Oven, Flemington Bagel, Galasso’s Pizza, The Fudge Shoppe, and the Candy Corral.

In addition, there will be free drawings for The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding and Sweet Sleep, signed by Author Diana West.

This free event is open to all supporters of breastfeeding families in the local community.
