Happy Mother's Day to all of you!  Please join us Tuesday, May 14 at 7 p.m. at the Tutt Branch library, corner of Miami and Ewing, South Bend.  We will discuss becoming  a mother and taking care of ourselves. With little ones taking so much of our energy, how do we recharge our own battery?  Expectant mothers and babies welcome.

Please include baby's first name and age, Mother's name, phone and email.  Photos will be on display at the Lactation Station in the Hoosier Tire Commercial Building during the St. Joseph County 4H Fair, June 28- July 6, 2019.  Votes are $1 each or 6 for $5.  This is a fundraiser to fund the August 17 World Breastfeeding Month Picnic.

Also consider signing up for a shift at the Lactation Station during the fair.  You will get one free entry to the fair. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tTPNlxAXsl7WU38PWBUB30cP83Fbc8QmKicrXzQiizI/edit#heading=h.j3rw2qwx0qe4

After some renovations at Shedd Aquarium they now offers a nursing room. Until recently the nursing room was designated on the maps and at the door with a logo of a bottle. One of our local mothers was one of many who contacted the directors of the aquarium and happily they are in the process of changing the bottle logos to the international breastfeeding logo: Shedd Aquarium is located in Chicago and has regular free community days. You can find out more about their free days and other admisson discounts as well as all the sights to see while you are there at http://www.sheddaquarium.org/discounts.html
