La Leche League of Ridgecrest will hold its regular series meeting on Thursday, November 10th, at 9:30 a.m.
This month's meeting is the third in our ongoing four-topic series. November's subject is The Art of Breastfeeding and Overcoming Obstacles. I love this title because it tells me that not only is breastfeeding learned and obstacles to breastfeeding may happen, but 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. Hey! Sounds like a LLL Meeting!
This month, we'll be brainstorming about ways moms can overcome both common and unusual breastfeeding obstacles. 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 all that much longer!
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.
We welcome all interested women, as well as their babies and toddlers to our meetings. We strongly encourage women to begin coming to meetings while pregnant so they can begin learning the ins and outs of how breastfeeding works before the baby arrives.
Our meetings are held the second Thursday of every month in Ridgecrest at Immanuel Ministry Center, 1201 N. China Lake Blvd., located between Urgent Care and Pizza Hut.
{To find our meeting room, go in the Ministry Center's main entrance on the east side of the building off China Lake Blvd. Veer left across the lobby and go through the double doors. Our meeting room is the second door on the left. Look for the "La Leche League of Ridgecrest" sign at the door.}
A healthy snack will be available at the meeting as is our lending library. So, come, share your stories, meet other moms, browse the library, and have a good time out with your baby!
Hope to see you there!
