Hello Mamas! The 4th Tuesday LLL meetings will now be held at our new location , Bittersweet Branch Library. What do you love about  wearing  your  baby  or toddler? What type of carrier have you always wanted to try? Is there a tricky back or side carry you need demonstrated? At the next La Leche League meeting some of the more experienced babywearers in our group will be ready to demonstrate and assist with hands-on practice. Bring your carriers and try ours! We'll have ring slings, pouches, knit & woven wraps, soft structured carriers, and more. Of course we always have space for your breastfeeding questions, concerns, and successes. Looking forward to seeing you!
