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

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

This month's meeting is the second in our ongoing four-topic series. February's subject is Baby Arrives: The Family & the Breastfed Baby. We'll discuss the early weeks with a new baby including strategies for making the transition go as smoothly as possible for the family. Even though breastfeeding is the natural and the biologically sound way to feed an infant, there can be a learning curve for both mom and baby. Come share your tips and lessons learned about the early weeks of breastfeeding or bring your questions and concerns about adjusting to life with a newborn.

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 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 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 on 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!
