Hello Mamas!Although each nursing couple is unique, one thing we know for certain is that all breastfeeding relationships change and progress as time goes on. 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!
These can be great opportunities to work on setting limits using gentle discipline. Respectful and gradual weaning is something we often think about at this stage, as well as dealing with questions of whether to continue nursing in public, and fielding questions and criticism from others.
And we always make space for any other concerns or questions you may have!See you Tuesday, June 16 @10am

LLL of South Bend Meetings and COVID-19
Dear mothers and friends, In consideration of the state recommendations and the response of many of the public spaces, including some of those in which we hold meetings, La Leche League of South Bend has decided to postpone our regular in-person meetings. We will continue to carefully monitor the situation in our area and continue meetings when it seems possible and safe for you and your families. We are taking this situation seriously and want to still be able to help mothers with breastfeeding questions. If you have any breastfeeding concerns or questions, you can still contact us via phone, email, or Facebook. We are always happy to help families work through difficult, joyful, and strange moments of the journey! lllofsouthbend.blogspot.com/ lllofsouthbend@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/lllofsouthbend / 574-334-7624 Breast milk is still the best food for your babies, and La Leche has provided guidance for breastfeeding through illness: Continuing to Nurse Your Baby
