World Breastfeeding Week is an annual celebration held around the world to generate public awareness and support for breastfeeding families. And, in honor of this special week, Swedish/Issaquah Pediatrics and OB are hosting a community celebration – and you’re invited.

Join us on Wednesday, Aug. 1 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. for a fun-filled day of activities. Raising a healthy, happy baby is one of the most rewarding things you’ll do. And, it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

  • Door Prizes
  • Story Telling
  • Teddy Bear Clinic
  • Massages
  • The Leche Lounge

"In this beautiful natural setting, in a hospital that was built green to run green, it is imperative that we do all we can to support mothers and families of young children to feed and raise those children in healthy natural ways,” says Madeline Marcus, pediatric hospitalist.

“We at Swedish want to be active in supporting members of the Eastside community that have similar goals, and a celebration with Pediatrics and Obstetrics aims to do just that."
