Hello Mamas! Although each nursing couple is unique, one thing we know for certain is that all breastfeeding relationships change and progress as time goes on. At this week's morning meeting we'll chat about nursing our babies into toddlerhood, and all the amusing and at times frustrating things that go with it! These can be great opportunities to work on setting limits using gentle discipline. Respectful and gradual weaning is something we often think about at this stage, as well as dealing with questions of whether to continue nursing in public, and fielding questions and criticism from others. And we always make space for any other concerns or questions you may have! See you Tuesday, June 16 @10am Sunnyside Presbyterian Church 115 S. Francis st.

LLL evening mtg. Sleep and other challenges
At our next evening meeting, Tuesday, June 9 at 7 pm, River Park Branch Library, 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're looking forward to hearing your sleep successes and challenges, as well as your breastfeeding questions, concerns, and successes.
