La Leche League of South Bend

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 have several books in the LLL library you may want to check out, including the brand new LLL book written by the women who brought you the most recent edition of "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding": "Sweet Sleep:Nighttime and Naptime Strategies for Breastfeeding Families". We're really excited about this book--it is so helpful and truthful in a way that no other sleep book has been brave enough to be before. We also have other favorites: Dr. Sears's "Nighttime Parenting: How to Get Your Baby and Child to Sleep" and Dr. McKenna's "Sleeping with Your Baby: A Parent's Guide to Cosleeping, Whether you do it occasionally or every night, do it safely." ...

Next Tuesday is our monthly playgroup!!! We look forward to seeing you and your wee one(s) at the park. Also, Saturday, August 22 is our National Breastfeeding Month picnic! We are so excited to eat and play with you! Shanna will again be donating her time to take gorgeous breastfeeding photos and Claire will be offering a free Babywearing Dance class! All the details are in the attached fliers. Spread the word! See you on  Tuesday, August 4 at 10am Parkovash Park 277 Parkovash Avenue South Bend, Indiana 46617 http://sbpark.org/parks/ parkovash-park/ (In case of rainy weather, we'll relocate to the  the Main Library, Children's Services.  http://www.sjcpl. org/kids/ --I'll send an email that morning!)
