We'll be immersed in cutting-edge breastfeeding research and studies when the Big Pink Bus pulls into Rochester on Friday, July 29. From meeting some of the most interesting experts in breastfeeding to touring one of the country's top research facilities at the University of Rochester, it's going to be an amazing day!
