The event was organized by Breastfeeding Coalition of Dutchess County and Hudson Valley Healthy Families.
The marchers kicked off their parade at the Family Partnership Building on North Hamilton Street, and made their way downtown to the Mid-Hudson Civic Center on Market Street, where dozens of vendors provided information about services.The festivities mark World Breastfeeding Week, observed the first week of August, celebrated each year to raise awareness about the importance of providing human milk as the best source of nutrition for babies.
One of the walk’s coordinators, Elizabeth Fernandez, said breastfeeding makes for healthier babies.
“We think breastfeeding is a public health issue,” she said. “It’s best for infants and it’s best for moms and babies and families.”
“Many mothers in the United States want to breastfeed, and most try,” explained Regina Benjamin, the U.S. Surgeon General, in her Call to Action encouraging breastfeeding. “And yet within only three months after giving birth, more than two-thirds of breastfeeding mothers have already begun using formula.”
It is legal in New York State for women to bare their breasts in public for the purpose of breast feeding an infant child. The breastfeeding bill of rights was read from the podium in English and Spanish at Wednesday’s event.
