This Saturday is Art Beat in downtown South Bend! http://www.artbeatsouthbend.org/ This is a really wonderful event for everybody in the family, and La Leche League and the St. Joseph County Breastfeeding Coalition are making it even more family friendly by offering a space for mamas and babies to nurse. We'll have a private area with comfy chairs, water, toys for toddlers, etc, and we hope you'll all stop by and spread the word to other nursing moms you know!

Give Tama a call or email if you're interested. She's split the day into manageable shifts--any amount of time you can give would be wonderful.We had to do some coercing to get a booth, so the more of you who come out and visit us the more chance we have of becoming a permanent fixture! Thank you all for your efforts to make South Bend more nursing fr

Is your nursing relationship changing as your baby moves towards (or through) toddlerhood? Are you thinking about getting pregnant again but aren't sure whether you should wean first? Wondering about nursing through pregnancy and even continuing to tandem nurse once the new baby is here? If you are curious 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 concerns or questions you may have!
