Hello Mamas! How is your nursing relationship changing as your baby moves towards (or through) toddlerhood? At this week's morning meeting we'll chat about nursing our babies into toddlerhood, and all the amusing and at times frustrating things that go with it!  -Do you have thoughts about how setting limits with loving guidance fit in to your current (and future!) nursing relationship? -Are you curious about the weaning process--how to be  gentle , respectful and gradual? -Are you thinking about getting pregnant again but aren't sure whether you should wean first?  -Wondering about nursing through pregnancy and continuing to tandem nurse once the new baby is here?  If you are thinking about any of these issues, or have experiences to share, please join us at the next LLL morning meeting! And even if these topics aren't relevant to you right now, come enjoy the camaraderie, commiseration and support of other nursing mamas.  And we always make space for any other breast

Hello Mamas! Have you ever felt like your baby might be colicky? fussy? high needs? Or do you dread the question from well-meaning grannies at the post office: "Is s/he a Good Baby?" Many breastfeeding mothers are surprised by how "needy" our babies are...until we compare notes with other families!  At next week's meeting we'll talk about how our babies might not match our (or society's) expectations. We'll discuss what kind of  myths  and misconceptions are floating around about babies and breastfeeding, and how to remain confident in our parenting choices. We'll also share techniques we've found to help our babies and ourselves move through some of the tougher times. There will also be time to share breastfeeding questions, concerns, and successes! See you at 10am Tuesday, June 18 Sunnyside Presbyterian Church  115 S. Francis St. South Bend, IN The always straight-to-the-point Milk Meg takes on a myriad of ways

We hope to see you this month! June 11: Evening Meeting- Sleep & Other Challenges June 18: Fussy Babies - Myths & Misconceptions June 25: Growing Nurslings and Loving Guidance
