Dear Mothers,
you are warmly invited to our next La Leche League meeting that aims to provide information and encouragement, mainly through mother-to-mother support to all women, who want to breastfeed their babies.

The meeting will take place on the 17th of November 10-12noon
at the Church of Ascension,
the regular venue for the Acorns Parent & Child group.

The meeting will be facilitated by Maria Yasnova (LLL Leader).

La Leche League Leaders are mothers who have breastfed their own babies and are trained to provide breastfeeding help. As volunteers they provide information and support by telephone and email and lead local support meetings for mothers.

La Leche League can help you when you:
 - are expecting a baby and want to know more about how to breastfeed
- are already breastfeeding and want help with particular challenges
- need information on starting solids or weaning
- want to meet other breastfeeding mums and share experiences
- want to read more about breastfeeding, birth and parenting

In our meeting on the 17th of November we will cover common difficulties encountered by breastfeeding mothers. The topic of the meeting is "Is this normal, or does it need attention?: the questions breastfeeding mothers ask."

In November we also have an antenatal meeting planned on 11.11.15 and a toddler meeting planned on 27.11.15 . Please contact Maria for details of the venue.

Babies, toddlers and older siblings are welcome at our meetings. You are welcome to bring a healthy snack to share, but you don't have to. The meetings are free for all.

Please consider texting/calling Maria Yasnova on 07811825107 if you plan to attend and to confirm the meeting is taking place as sometimes they need to be cancelled for emergency reasons.
