Series Meeting: 11 December 2009

Please join us for our next Series Meeting:

DATE: 11 December 2009
TIME: 10:30AM-12:30PM
PLACE: Acton, West London. Please call Georgia on 0208 992 0059 for exact location.

Series Meetings are meetings designed with a theme or topic in mind. We'll either post the topic or send out an email a few days before the meeting. (See previous posts for examples of previous topics.) There is also plenty of time for general discussion relating to breastfeeding or parenting in general, meeting other mothers and speaking to a La Leche League Leader about any questions or concerns you might have.

The topic this month is Introduction to Solids where we will be discussing nutrition, balancing breastmilk and solids, dealing with common concerns of health visitors and doctors regarding solids and breastfeeding, and hopefully dispel some of the myths around introducing solids.

We look forward to meeting you and your little one(s).

April Series Meeting: The Advantages of Breastfeeding

The topic of this month's Series Meeting is "Advantages of Breastfeeding." We all hear in the news that breastmilk is the superior infant food, and that breastmilk can prevent a range of illnesses in both mother and child. But what is less common is a discussion on the process of breastfeeding and how it can be an amazing tool in mothering and nurturing your child beyond just the nutritional aspects of breastmilk. How does breastfeeding meet the psychological and physical needs of your baby or toddler? How is it helping you fulfill your mothering potential? You may be surprised to learn just how far-reaching breastfeeding impacts you and your baby. Further to this we'll explore La Leche League's 1st concept of its philosophy, Mothering through breastfeeding is the most natural and effective way of understanding and satisfying the needs of your baby, and what it can mean for you and your baby.

In addition to this topic there will still be plenty of time for chatting with other mothers, getting your questions answered, speaking to a LLL Leader, etc. We do hope you'll join us! The lending library, which includes a variety of parenting books, dvds, and slings, will also be available.

Date: 17 April 2009
Time: 10:30AM- 12:30PM
Location: Acton, West London. Please call Georgia, Laura or Indira for exact location.
