Christchurch Women’s Hospital & The Big Latch On – 2026

Te Whatu Ora, Waitaha


Friday 27th March, 10:00am

Nau mai, haere mai!

We’re proud to host a Big Latch On 2026 event as part of our hospital’s breastfeeding-friendly care and support for whānau.

Find our event in the entrance of the neighbouring / conjoined hospital “Waipapa”

This is a relaxed, come-as-you-are get-together to celebrate breastfeeding/chestfeeding, connect with other parents, and access supportive people who “get it”.

You’re welcome whether you’re:

* feeding a newborn and finding your feet
* weeks or months in and wanting reassurance or fresh ideas
* on an extended breastfeeding/chestfeeding journey (toddlers welcome!)
* breastfeeding directly, pumping, using donor milk or combination feeding – whatever your feeding looks like right now.

No pressure. No judgement. Just a friendly space to latch (if you want to), ask questions, and feel supported.

Bring your pēpi, your support person, and your feeding story – you belong here.
