Tuesday, December 6 between 10 and noon 304 South Main Street  South Bend, Indiana 46601  http://sjcpl.org/locations For those who have been avoiding downtown due to the construction, I believe it has opened up for the most part, and the library is now accessible from both directions on Main St!

Next week marks the beginning of our  indoor playgroup season. We are so thrilled to be able to offer a special screening of  The Milky Way , a fabulously inspiring film about breastfeeding in America. Please bring children, family, and friends--we'll bring snacks :)   http://milkywayfoundation.org Tuesday, November 1 We'll start the film at 10:30, but feel free to come earlier to grab a bagel and a seat! 304 South Main Street South Bend, Indiana 46601 http://www.sjcpl.org/main/ Humphreys Multimedia Room:  http://www.sjcpl.org/ meetingrooms/ (You  can check  https://smartstreets. southbendin.gov  for info about how construction might affect your approach)

We are so excited to meet with you in our new location for the 4th Tuesday of the month meeting--the Harris Branch Library! Come check out the new space, and we'll mark the event by enjoying the mother-to-mother support you all embody so well...and we'll even bring snacks to share! Whether or not you've ever felt like your baby might be colicky, fussy, or high needs, many breastfeeding mothers are surprised by how "needy" our babies are...until we compare notes with other families! At next week's meeting we'll talk about how our babies might not match our (or society's) expectations. We'll discuss what kind of myths and misconceptions are floating around about babies and breastfeeding, and how to remain confident in our parenting choices. We'll also share techniques we've found to help our babies and ourselves move through fussy times. There will also be time to share breastfeeding questions, concerns, and successes! S...

Your La Leche League of South Bend Leaders love nothing more than helping mothers and babies through sharing breastfeeding information and support. If you have a moment, we'd love if you'd use the link below to drop a quick line to 1st Source Bank, telling them that you find us important to the Michiana community. We are a completely volunteer-led group, with no source of income other than memberships and donations. We use what little money we have for expanding our lending-libraries and for Leader training and education. Thank You! https://www.1stsource.com/about-us/150-2

Winter seems to be upon us, so we will move our monthly 1st Tuesday playgroup inside until spring! Please join us on Tuesday at the Main Library in downtown South Bend--we have again reserved the Humphrey's room in the basement where there is plenty of room for crawlers to crawl, big kids to play, and mamas and babies to cuddle, nurse, and chat. Feel free to bring toys to share or pop upstairs to borrow books and toys for the morning! And those of you with tiny babes or babes still in utero, please know that this playgroup is for you too! Support from other mothers is what we're all about:) Tuesday, November 5 between 10 and noon 304 South Main Street  South Bend, Indiana 46601  http://www.sjcpl.org/main/ Humphreys Multimedia Room:  http://www.sjcpl.org/meetingrooms/
