Series Meeting::Thursday, March 8th at 9:30 a.m.

La Leche League of Ridgecrest will hold its regular series meeting on Thursday, March 8th, at 9:30 a.m.

This month's meeting is the third in our ongoing four-topic series. March's subject is The Art of Breastfeeding and Overcoming Obstacles. This title tells us breastfeeding is learned and obstacles to breastfeeding may happen, but also, difficulties can be overcome! It just requires some networking with moms who have been there, sharing ideas of things that may fix the difficulty, and accepting the support of other breastfeeding moms.

This month, we'll discuss ways moms can overcome both common and unusual breastfeeding difficulties. Research shows that moms who have good breastfeeding information AND the support from other breastfeeding woman will breastfeed longer. This means their babies will receive all the wonderful benefits of breastfeeding for that much more time!

If you have breastfeeding questions or tips to share, we look forward to seeing you at the meeting and hearing your thoughts. You're also more than welcome to comment here.
