Art Beat Lactation Station!

-

This Saturday is Art Beat in downtown South Bend! http://www.artbeatsouthbend.org/ This is a really wonderful event for everybody in the family, and La Leche League and the St. Joseph County Breastfeeding Coalition are making it even more family friendly by offering a space for mamas and babies to nurse. We'll have a private area with comfy chairs, water, toys for toddlers, etc, and we hope you'll all stop by and spread the word to other nursing moms you know! You can find us on the south side of Jefferson Blvd. near St. Joseph Street.

If you would like to volunteer to help staff the booth, that would be fabulous too! Give Tama a call or email if you're interested. She's split the day into manageable shifts--any amount of time you can give would be wonderful.We had to do some coercing to get a booth, so the more of you who come out and visit us the more chance we have of becoming a permanent fixture!
Thank you all for your efforts to make South Bend more nursing friendly!

Dear mothers and friends, In consideration of the state recommendations and the response of many of the public spaces, including some of those in which we hold meetings, La Leche League of South Bend has decided to postpone our regular in-person meetings. We will continue to carefully monitor the situation in our area and continue meetings when it seems possible and safe for you and your families. We are taking this situation seriously and want to still be able to help mothers with breastfeeding questions. If you have any breastfeeding concerns or questions, you can still contact us via phone, email, or Facebook. We are always happy to help families work through difficult, joyful, and strange moments of the journey! lllofsouthbend.blogspot.com/ lllofsouthbend@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/lllofsouthbend / 574-334-7624 Breast milk is still the best food for your babies, and La Leche has provided guidance for breastfeeding through illness: Continuing to Nurse Your Baby

After some renovations at Shedd Aquarium they now offers a nursing room. Until recently the nursing room was designated on the maps and at the door with a logo of a bottle. One of our local mothers was one of many who contacted the directors of the aquarium and happily they are in the process of changing the bottle logos to the international breastfeeding logo: Shedd Aquarium is located in Chicago and has regular free community days. You can find out more about their free days and other admisson discounts as well as all the sights to see while you are there at http://www.sheddaquarium.org/discounts.html
