In celebration of National Breastfeeding Week, mothers and babies are invited to a breastfeeding challenge at the Parksville library on October 1.

They will join hundreds of women in Canada for this fun challenge to see which community has the most breastfed babies.

Mothers, babies and other family members are invited to a half-hour story time at 10:30 a.m. to 11, and the official breastfeeding count starts at 11 am at the library.

Women who are pregnant are also invited to attend this community event.

Last year, Toronto tied for first place in Canada and second place in the world out of 272 participating sites for the most children breastfeeding at one time.
