LLL Meeting - Importance of Breastfeeding
Hello, Mamas!
At this month's meeting we will be talking about the myriad reasons we choose to breastfeed, why we love it, why we push through the times we don't love it, and the constantly growing list of amazing things breastmilk and breastfeeding do for us physically, emotionally, and in other ways!
What are some of your favorite facts about the power of our milk and the breastfeeding bond? What inspired you to breastfeed your child/ren? What struggles have you worked through?
The cultural conversation has often centered around the "breast is best" adage, but that implies that breastfeeding is a bonus instead of simply the baseline. Since breastfeeding is the biological norm, let's change the conversation and talk about why we are glad to have (and give) the support we need to in order to make nursing possible!
As always, there will be time for any general breastfeeding questions and troubleshooting, as well as time to share our successes and joys!
Please join us this Tuesday, July 24 at 10:00am
