LLL mtg-Traveling & Family Relations

-
At our next meeting we'll share our ideas about dealing with the holidays as parents of littles. Do you have tips for fielding family questions/opinions about parenting and breastfeeding choices? Traveling with babies and children? Keeping ourselves and our kids healthy in the midst of cookies and germs?  Trying to maintain some semblance of routine amongst the craziness?

Of course we will always have time for concerns you might have and insights you'd like to share, along with general chatting, support, and  library perusal.

We're looking forward to seeing you at 10am Tuesday, November 15
Sunnyside Presbyterian Church
115 S. Frances St.
South Bend, IN 46617

***And save the date for the following week's meeting at Harris Branch Library about Becoming a Mother and Early Days of Breastfeeding!***

Here is some lovely language for extended family from The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding:
