La Leche League of Nashoba Valley

02/21/2015

A member of our group shared this in an email so I thought I'd inform you all:

Hi there everyone,

I know how much I've missed the Nashoba Valley LLL meetings and I'm sure many of you have too! I wanted to share that there is a new LLL group starting meetings next month; LLL of Gardner-Leominster.

The group's first meeting will be Tuesday, March 3rd at 10am in Westminster (at the public library) if anyone is interested in attending! It would be great to see some familiar faces :)

Here is a link to their website (http://www.lllmarivt.org/gardner-leominster/) and you can also find them on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/lalecheleagueofgardnerleominster.)

We are planning to begin monthly breastfeeding support meetings in the spring. If you have breastfeeding questions or concerns please call the Leader listed below.

Hi, I just wanted to note that our group's meetings have stopped for now, since one Leader moved away, another has ongoing health issues, and I live down in Marlboro now and can't keep the meetings going by myself. Please refer to LLL's website to find another group near you! Sorry for the inconvenience. Daryl http://www.llli.org/webus.html

Any Leader listed on a Group Web page of a state within the US will have a directory of Leaders in her state, so she will be able to help you find a local Group or Leader.

Dear Mothers,

We hope that this new time isn't too inconvenient, but we felt that the only way that we could support our families and continue our La Leche League work was to switch to a night meeting. We are sorry if this is difficult for stay at home moms. Please remember that we are available by phone or email if you have any concerns and aren't able to make our meetings.

WarmLLLy,
Melissa and Ruthann

This comes up in meetings all the time.

The not-often-discussed issue of Vitamin D deficiency in nursing mothers is discussed by an expert, and how it can affect the infants in their care. An "adequate" intake for nursing mothers is not the 400 IU/d the IOM recommends, but is instead in the range of 5,000-6,000 IU/d, taken daily. If they…

This is really interesting, although it is kind of harsh on formula feeding.
