I would really like to see some of our local non-profits and BFing supportive businesses represented at the event (LLL, ICAN, FoMM, DGSL, etc). Lactations in Fairview Heights has committed to being present at the event, I'd like to see a few other! If you're involved in any of these organizations, please email me briana@stlouismommies.com
