Saturday event to highlight importance of breast-feeding (LONGVIEW NEWS-JOURNAL)

Longview Wellness Center's Women, Infants and Children Center will celebrate World Breastfeeding Month with a variety of activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Longview Mall.

The event spotlights the benefits of breast-feeding and encourages mothers to breast-feed their infants, said Jana Dunaway, breast-feeding coordinator for the Wellness Center.

"It's good for mom, and it's good for families," said Dunaway.

This year's theme, "Mother's Milk: It's More Than Just Food," was coined to emphasize the difference between breast milk and formula.
