Mothers - if you wish your parents would understand more about how you are raising your baby, encourage them to come to this class. Sponsored by the St. Joseph Breastfeeding Coalition, this class is designed for soon to be or new grandparents. It will meet May 24 from 6:30 to 8 pm at the Francis Branch Library, 52655 N. Ironwood Rd in South Bend. Learn about the latest recommendations for keeping baby safe, learn about the importance of responding to babies and their need for touch. Learn about the importance of breastfeeding for the baby and the mom. Learn about the unique role grandparents can play in supporting their own children as they step into parenthood. Free, no registration required.

At the next morning meeting we're going to explore our feelings about the transition to becoming a Mother, and managing those early days and months with baby. This new role can surprise us, rock us to our cores, and bore us silly, all in the space of an hour.  It's  intense, le arning your baby's signals, needs, and routines, not to mention trying to maintain relationships and at least some basic hygiene ;) How have you found this transition? What has helped you through it? Join us on Tuesday to share these thoughts and others. And we always make space for any other breastfeeding concerns or questions you may have! See you  Tuesday, May 17 @10am Sunnyside Presbyterian Church  **We will now be meeting in the Junior High room, to the right at the bottom of the stairs** 115 S. Frances St. South Bend, IN 46617

Happy Mother's Day to you! Come join us in a discussion of what it has been like to become a mother.  What are some things you can do to care for yourself amidst the busyness of caring for small children, keeping everyone fed and perhaps also working outside the home. We will meet Tuesday, May 10 at 7 pm at the River Park Branch Library in South Bend.
