LLL Meeting: Sharing Our Stories

-

At the next La Leche League meeting we'll have an opportunity to think about and share our pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and mothering stories. As you know, every meeting lends itself to opportunities to listen and learn from each other, as often accompanied by tears as laughter. One of our former LLL Leaders, Krista Bailey, is involved in Michiana Monologues at IUSB (http://www.michianamonologues.org/), and in hearing so many women's stories as a part of this production was reminded of the wonderful perspectives in the LLL community. She will be visiting with us this week to help us to think about the healing and enjoyable process of forming our own experiences as stories. She will also be happy to discuss the possibility of submitting a story to the monologues with anyone who is interested (http://www.michianamonologues.org/informationsheet.html). 


As always, we will have room for your breastfeeding questions, concerns, and successes.

See you on:
Tuesday, October 23 at 10am

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 ...
