The sun shone bright as breastfeeding mums joined in a world record attempt in Walmer on Saturday.

Deal Breastfeeding Support Group hosted a Global Big Latch On, an international event as part of World Breastfeeding Week, from August 1 to 7.

The aim is to have the most number of babies being breastfed.

Eight babies latched on at The Sea Cafe Coffee Shop on Walmer Green for the required time - one minute.

These numbers will be added together with others recorded around the world on Saturday, Sunday and Monday to see if the attempt was successful.

Group has been a life-line for me at times - Jemma Morris, breastfeeding mum

Mum of three Jemma Morris, said: “Since having my first son six years ago I am back to support the Big Latch on for a second time.

“Deal Breastfeeding Support Group has been a life-line for me at times when I needed help and a reassuring hug.”

The group is now working towards its ParentCon event on Sunday, September 22 at the Astor Theatre in Deal.

DBSG meet every Monday (excluding Bank Holidays) from 1.30-3.30pm at St George’s Church in Deal.
