MIDDLETOWN -- This year’s World Breast-feeding Week theme was embraced by about 17 mothers and their happy babies at Middlesex Hospital Tuesday in a celebration of "Family Foods, Loving and Healthy."
The annual event, held during the hospital’s breast-feeding support group weekly meeting time, opened with a ceremonial walk around campus, then featured staff awards, a slide show, speakers and a discussion.

The AAP also revised its 1997 policy by supporting nursing for the first year and beyond.
