La Leche League of South Bend

We are looking forward to our next outdoor  playgroup  this week at Parkovash Park - a quiet little park with room for parents to walk around with their wee ones snuggled, toddlers to run, climb, and swing, and nice shady spots for babies and parents to sit and visit. Come on out and join us--no baby is too young for a mama to benefit from a  playgroup ! (Even the ones still in utero!) Robin will be waiting to welcome you. (In case of rain or cold, we will move to the Main Library Children's Services!) See you on Tuesday, July 3, between 10am-noon Parkovash Park 277 Parkovash Avenue South Bend, Indiana 46617 http://sbpark.org/parks/parkov ash-park/

Hello Wonderful Mamas! 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're also looking forward to hearing your breastfeeding questions, concerns, and successes. 10am Tuesday, June 26th Bittersweet Branch Library 602 N Bittersweet Rd, Mishawaka, IN 46544 https://goo.gl/maps/vCCEi7z3jZ12 Did you know that the foremost expert of mother-baby cosleeping is right here at Notre Dame? http://cosleeping.nd.edu/safe-co-sleeping-guidelines/ http://neuroanthropology.net/2008/12/21/cosleeping-and-biological-imperatives-why-human-babies-do-not-and-should-not-sleep-alone/ Information and resources from LLLI about the new book: https://www.llli.org/resources/sweet-sleep/ Here are some ideas for helping baby sleep: http://www.phdinparenting.com
