Bay Area breast fest aims for world record

BERKELEY — Berkeley's breast-feeding guru is gearing up for a breast fest that she hopes will bust Australia's world record for the most mothers breast-feeding in multiple locations at one time.
In Union City and six other Alameda County locations, hundreds of women will gather at parks, clinics and community centers to breast-feed their babies at one time.

If 1,665 mothers show up for the marathon, Alameda County will take the record from the folks down under.
