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

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

This month's meeting is the last in our ongoing four-topic series. December's subject is Nutrition and Weaning. We'll discuss how we can continue healthy eating habits in our babies, now that we've given them the very best start with breastmilk; how to incorporate good nutrition into the whole family's diet; what is weaning, and steps for a smooth weaning.

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. One can begin attending La Leche League meetings at any point in a series and continue coming for as long as one likes.

Our meetings are held in Ridgecrest at the 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!

If you have breastfeeding questions or tips to share, we look forward to seeing you at the meeting and hearing your thoughts. We'd also appreciate comments at the blog!

Hope to see you there!
