La Leche League of South Bend

Next Tuesday is our monthly playgroup!!! We look forward to seeing you and your wee one(s) at the park. Also, Saturday, August 22 is our National Breastfeeding Month picnic! We are so excited to eat and play with you! Shanna will again be donating her time to take gorgeous breastfeeding photos and Claire will be offering a free Babywearing Dance class! All the details are in the attached fliers. Spread the word! See you on  Tuesday, August 4 at 10am Parkovash Park 277 Parkovash Avenue South Bend, Indiana 46617 http://sbpark.org/parks/ parkovash-park/ (In case of rainy weather, we'll relocate to the  the Main Library, Children's Services.  http://www.sjcpl. org/kids/ --I'll send an email that morning!)

No matter what our lives looked like before kids, we all know our perspectives are vastly different after. And whether we go back to work after 6 weeks, 12 weeks, full-time, part-time, not at all, SAHM, WAHM, free-lancer, mompreneur, etc., we all struggle with balance and how to Make It Work.  At the next LLL morning meeting we'll share ideas of how we have done this and issues we haven't yet solved. How do you fit breastfeeding and/or pumping into your new lifestyle? (Or how do you adapt your lifestyle to breastfeeding?!) How do you fill those long hours with baby? How do you divvy up household chores? Child care? How do you make sure you get the help you need? When do you take on new duties? How do you structure your days in a way that works for you and your child(ren)? We'll delve into all of this and more.  And of course, we will have room for your breastfeeding questions, concerns, and successes. See you on: Tuesday, July 21 at 10am Sunnys...

Come join us to discuss starting solids, toddler nursing and family nutrition. Share your ideas and concerns.  We are meeting at River Park Branch library at 7 pm, Tuesday, July 14.  Pregnant and nursing mothers and babies are welcome.

Because of the rain, the LLL playgroup will move to the Main Library, Children's Services.  http://www.sjcpl.org/kids/ See you there between 10 and noon!

It's Playgroup time again! Parkovash is a quiet little park with room for mamas to walk around with their wee ones snuggled, toddlers to run, climb, and swing, and nice shady spots for babies and mamas to sit and visit. Come on out and join us--no baby is too young for a mama to benefit from a playgroup! (Even the ones still inutero!)  See you on Tuesday, July 7, between 10am-noon Parkovash Park 277 Parkovash Avenue South Bend, Indiana 46617 http://sbpark.org/parks/parkovash-park/ (In case of rainy weather, we'll relocate to the   the Main Library, Children's Services.  http://www.sjcpl.org/kids/ --I'll send an email that morning!)
