Are you planning to visit the exhibitions this weekend at Art Beat? There will be a Lactation Station for you in the air conditioned lobby at 217 S. Michigan St. If you are able and willing to help volunteer at the station then please send us an email at lllofsouthbend@gmail.com Hope to see you all there!

Unfortunately we just received word that we were not accepted into Art Beat this year:(

La Leche League of South Bend would like photos of you nursing your baby to make a video montage for Art Beat. Please email you photos to: kinglynnmarie@yahoo.com by August 12. It is World Breastfeeding week August 1-7 - pat yourself on the back for the wonderful gift you are giving your baby!

Come share your joys and challenges in breastfeeding. How did you adjust to a new baby in the house? If you are expecting please come also. Share your thoughts at the la Leche League Meeting Tuesday evening, July 13 at 7 pm, River Park Branch Library.

To celebrate World Breastfeeding Week and Breastfeeding Awareness Month, the Indiana Mothers’ Milk Bank is once again providing Lactation Stations at the Indiana State Fair. We aim to provide a clean, comfortable place for moms to breastfeeding, relax, change their babies, and gather information about current women and infant health issues. Volunteers will receive free admission to the fair, a t-shirt, and chance to help improve the health of infants and children in our state. For any questions about volunteering, please email us at StateFairVolunteer@immb.org . Volunteer Sign Up - Fair 2010

We mourn the death of La Leche League Leader, Tine Thevenin, aged only 68. She influenced two generations with her best-selling self-published book, "The Family Bed: An Age Old Concept in Child Rearing." It sold over 150,000 copies and was translated into Dutch and German. In 1993, she came out with a second book on ...child rearing: "Mothering and Fathering: The Gender Differences in Child Rearing." Her online obituary can be found here .

Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful mothers! Come join us Tuesday evening at 7 pm at Riverpark branch library to share your breastfeeding and mothering experiences and questions. View SJCPL Locations in a larger map
