Big Latch On at Te Papaioea Birthing Centre – 2026
Te Papaioea Birthing Centre - Health NZ
Friday 27th March, 10am-12pm
Join us for the Big Latch On — a celebration of connection, community, and the amazing journey of breastfeeding!
On Friday 27 March, from 10am–12pm, we’re gathering at Te Papaioea Birthing Centre for this global moment where breastfeeding, chestfeeding, and mixed‑feeding parents latch their pēpi all at the same time in a beautiful show of solidarity.
We’ll mingle, connect, and enjoy the morning together — then everyone will latch at 11am for the official Big Latch On count!
Bring your baby, bring your whānau, and bring your good vibes — this is a relaxed, supportive space to meet others, share stories, and celebrate feeding your baby your way.
✨ Plus… spot prizes!
Fun giveaways will be happening throughout the morning, so everyone has a chance to take home something special.
Come celebrate the power of nurturing, the magic of community, and the joy of doing something meaningful together. We can’t wait to latch, laugh, and connect with you!
A big thank you to Health NZ, Barnardos, La Leche League, Entwined Parenting and Thread & Film for your collaboration for this event.
