The next Global Big Latch On is in 2023

The success of the Big Latch On is due to all our fantastic hosts.

Thinking of hosting a Big Latch On in your community? Its easier than you think!

Step 1: Find someone to help and choose your location. This year events can be in person and virtual. 

Step 2: Register your location here

Whether your location is public or private you can register here. Record your Location ID and remember that you can log back in later to make changes.


If you are in New Zealand you need to register with the Big Latch On Founders here.

Step 3: Read the Big Latch On Rules and Host Guidelines

You can find all of these on the resources page

Step 4: Promote your Big Latch On Location

Put up posters, set up a Facebook group and event, invite a local parents group or contact local media to let people know about your event. Remember to have everyone register for your location via www.biglatchon.org

Step 5: Email the event location details and/or virtual meeting link to your participants.

You can do this via the Big Latch On website. Remember you might want to send it more than once and you need to include the event waiver. You can find the event waiver in the host resources.

Step 6: On Big Latch On Morning: Get all the people to sign in and once the event starts count all the breastfeeding children

Set up your event location and test any technology to make sure it works. Open your room and have fun!

Step 7: On Big Latch On Afternoon: Report your numbers.

Please report your numbers via the website within 24 hours of your latch on.

If you have permission post lots of photos online. Let's show the world what breastfeeding looks like.

It’s that easy! Have fun…
