La Leche League of South Bend

Are you craving some supportive mama/baby time once we come out of the crazy holidays? Happily, on Tuesday we'll be in the Humphrey's room in the lower level  of  the Main Library in downtown South Bend, where there is plenty of room for crawlers to crawl, big kids to play, and mamas and babies to cuddle, nurse, and chat. Feel free to bring toys to share or pop upstairs to borrow books and toys for the morning! And those of you with tiny babes or babes still in utero, please know that this  playgroup is for you too! Support from other mothers is what we're all  about:)  Jessica, (mama to Juniper and Georgia) will be waiting to greet you so that you'll know you're in the right spot! Tuesday, January 3 between 10 and noon 304 South Main Street  South Bend, Indiana 46601  http://sjcpl.org/locations

And even if these topics aren't relevant to you right now, come enjoy the camaraderie, commiseration and support of other nursing mamas.  And we always make ...
