Take the Breastfeeding Challenge!
The Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge started in 2001 with a challenge to
the Guinness World Record across British Columbia. In 2002, the Challenge
went across Canada with a more collaborative effort with every mother and
baby at a registered site contributing to the final numbers. This year, the
Challenge will go international.  Dr Wah Wong proposed this project as a way
of highlighting the benefits and value of breastfeeding, while having some
fun! Breastfeeding Challenge 2001, held Oct 6th, was a challenge to the
Guiness Book of World Records. Sadly Dr Wong died in July of 2001 so did not
witness how successful the event was.

The Challenge this year will take place on Oct. 4, 2003 at 11AM (local
time). It is open to all provinces and states in Canada or the US.
