LLL meeting - Sleep and other challenges

-
Hello Wonderful Mamas!

 At our next morning meeting we will be discussing that precious commodity for all parents--Sleep. There are as many sleep philosophies and set-ups as there are babies. Come share ideas of what has worked for your family, struggles you face, and an open heart for commiseration.

 We're also looking forward to hearing your breastfeeding questions, concerns, and successes.

 10am Tuesday, Janurary 16th
Sunnyside Presbyterian Church
 115 S. Frances St. South Bend, IN 46617

LLL of South Bend Meetings and COVID-19

Dear mothers and friends, In consideration of the state recommendations and the response of many of the public spaces, including some of those in which we hold meetings, La Leche League of South Bend has decided to postpone our regular in-person meetings. We will continue to carefully monitor the situation in our area and continue meetings when it seems possible and safe for you and your families. We are taking this situation seriously and want to still be able to help mothers with breastfeeding questions. If you have any breastfeeding concerns or questions, you can still contact us via phone, email, or Facebook.
