If you're a mom or mom-to-be and interested in information on breastfeeding, La Leche League Canada-Coquitlam offers plenty of help.
LLLC meets on the second Thursday of each month at Share Family and Community Services, Clarke St. in Port Moody. All women interested in breastfeeding (and their children) are welcome to attend the free monthly meetings.
Meetings cover an assigned topic of discussion and allow time for questions and meeting other breastfeeding mothers. Those who wish to join as members benefit from an additional monthly meeting on a range of parenting topics and share additional benefits including access to a resource library and an on-line community of support. Doors open at 9:45 a.m. and the meeting begins at 10 a.m.
Upcoming open series meeting dates are:
Nov. 10: nutrition and weaning;
Dec. 14: no series meeting, members' meeting only;
Jan. 12: Baby Arrives: Family and the Breastfed Baby;
Feb. 9: The Art of Breastfeeding and Avoiding Difficulties.
