Local moms try to beat breastfeeding world record

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — One hundred nine local children latched on in Chattanooga in an attempt to beat a breastfeeding world record.

Moms and their babies came out to the Saint John United Methodist Church for the 2017 Big Latch On.

It’s part of a worldwide event put on to break the simultaneous breastfeeding world record.

The event also falls during World Breastfeeding Week.
