La Leche League To Meet Feb 20

La Leche League of Newtown will meet on Tuesday, February 20, with the topic “Baby Arrives: The Family and the Breastfed Baby.” The meeting will be held at 10 am in the parlor room on the main floor of the Congregational Church House, 41-A Main Street.

Those who attend the meeting are asked to park behind the building or in the town hall parking lot, not in the Newtown Savings Bank parking lot.

Women who attend La Leche League meetings can learn about breastfeeding from other nursing mothers. At these monthly meetings, mothers share not only their questions and concerns but also the benefits and joys of breastfeeding. Babies and toddlers are welcome, and mothers-to-be are especially encouraged to attend.

There will be a toddler meeting the following week held in a member’s home. This meeting will be geared toward the needs of mothers with older nursing babies and toddlers. Call for more information.

La Leche League is an educational, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing education, information, support, and encouragement to women who want to breastfeed. All women interested in breastfeeding are welcome to attend the monthly group meetings or call a leader for breastfeeding help.
