Meetings are discussion-based and informal. For new moms and moms with older babies and toddlers. These meetings are also the perfect place for pregnant women to come and ask questions in preparation for motherhood!
Topics include: the advantages of breastfeeding, adjusting to life with a new baby (whether this is your first baby or not, it's always an adjustment for everyone when there's a new baby in the house - marriage, siblings, and other family dynamics are explored), overcoming breastfeeding difficulties, nutrition (ways to improve your family's diet), weaning, gentle discipline methods that work, nighttime nursing, toddler nutrition, coping with family/societal pressure to wean, dental concerns, tandem nursing, nursing in public and more.
