Enrichment Meetings
La Leche League's philosophy has always celebrated the father's unique realtionship with his baby. In addition, years of experience have taught LLL that breastfeeding is enhanced and the nursing couple sustained by the loving support, help and companionship of the baby's father. As our enrichment meeting for this series, we'd like to turn our focus to the father's role in the breastfeeding family. (Dads encouraged to attend). These gatherings will be hosted by Hope Allyson at her home in Horsham, at 7 pm. Call for directions: 267-760-5620.
June 8 -- "Daddy, Daddy!" Celebrating the Ups and Downs of Fatherhood
Every time we have a meeting that focuses on a mom's support network, the one name that comes up again and again is her child's dad. In this Father's Day month, let's gather to talk about the challenges and joys of this role.
