La Leche League of Greater Athens - March AM Series Meeting

Thank you, everyone, who attended this morning's AM Series Meeting! We had a great turnout today, with many moms and their babies/toddlers.

The topic was "The Empowering Art of Breastfeeding," so we discussed how breastfeeding has helped us feel empowered. It was a very positive discussion!

To ensure that everyone's questions were answered, we also discussed what's normal and expected breastfeeding behavior for a newborn, etc.

As always, if you have any questions, relating to this topic or any breastfeeding/parenting issue, please ask! (Leader contact information is listed to the right of this blog page.)

An Awesome Quote

"When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form."
