Hospitals in the Twin Counties are encouraging mothers to breast-feed as part of a weeklong awareness campaign, officials said.
The World Alliance for Breast-feeding Action has declared Aug. 1 through Aug. 7 as World Breast-feeding Week. During this week, all mothers who give birth at Heritage Hospital will receive a free breast-feeding kit, said Janet Bridgers, lactation consultant with Heritage Hospital.

The breast-feeding kits include a breast pump, breast-feeding pads and an instructional video.
