La Leche League of South Bend

Hello Mamas! At the next morning meeting we're going to explore our feelings about the transition to becoming a Mother, and managing those early days and months with baby. This new role can surprise us, rock us to our cores, and bore us silly, all in the space of an hour. It's intense, learning your baby's signals, needs, and routines, not to mention trying to maintain relationships and at least some basic hygiene ;) How have you found this transition? What has helped you through it? Join us on Tuesday to share these thoughts and others. And we always make space for any other breastfeeding concerns or questions you may have! We are looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday, November 27th at 10am. Bittersweet Branch Library 602 N Bittersweet Rd, Mishawaka, IN 46544 https://goo.gl/maps/ vCCEi7z3jZ12 **Note: We will NOT be meeting on the 4th Tuesday of December** Here are two  favorite blogs on the subject of motherhood--ones to go back

Hello Everyone! 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  Tuesday, November 20 at 10am Sunnyside Presbyterian Church 115 S.

Join us Tuesday, November 13 at the Tutt Branch Library, 7 p.m., to discuss "Making it Work". What are some challenges you are facing and how have you overcome them? Going back to work outside the home? Trying to figure out how to travel with little ones during the holidays? Dreading having to explain your parenting choices to well-meaning relatives? Just trying  to make it through the day?  Come share and seek wisdom from other parents.

Hello Friends! It's time again for the monthly  LLL   playgroup ! Starting this month we will meet indoors again. 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 :).  Robin will be waiting to greet you so that you'll know you're in the right spot! Tuesday, November 6th between  10:15 and noon 304 South Main Street  South Bend, Indiana 46601   http://sjcpl.org/locations
