Sleep & Other Baby Myths

-

We've all seen breastfeeding used as the scapegoat for many issues with our babies and children--how do we stay strong in the face of doubts, particularly when we're sleep-deprived? There are as many sleep philosophies and set-ups as there are babies. Come share ideas of what has worked for your family, struggles you face, and an open heart for commiseration. This week we will also talk about how to dispel common breastfeeding myths and misconceptions, particularly as they relate to sleep, while staying confident in our parenting choices.

We have several books in the LLL library you may want to check out, Dr. McKenna's "Sleeping with Your Baby: A Parent's Guide to Cosleeping, Whether You Do It Occasionally or Every Night, Do It Safely" and Dr. Sears's "Nighttime Parenting: How to Get Your Baby and Child to Sleep."
We're looking forward to hearing about your sleep triumphs and challenges, as well as your breastfeeding questions, concerns, and successes.

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 ...

At our next morning meeting we will be discussing that precious commodity for all parents--Sleep. There are as many sleep philosophies and set-ups as there are babies. Come share ideas of what has worked for your family, struggles you face, and an open heart for commiseration.  We have several books in the LLL library you may want to check out, including the brand new LLL book written by the women who brought you the most recent edition of "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding": "Sweet Sleep:Nighttime and Naptime Strategies for Breastfeeding Families". We're really excited about this book--it is so helpful and truthful in a way that no other sleep book has been brave enough to be before. We also have other favorites: Dr. Sears's "Nighttime Parenting: How to Get Your Baby and Child to Sleep" and Dr. McKenna's "Sleeping with Your Baby: A Parent's Guide to Cosleeping, Whether you do it occasionally or every night, do it safely." ...
