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.)

La Leche League of Greater Athens - March Toddler Meeting
This month's Toddler Meeting focused on Weaning. Several moms came, with their babies/toddlers; a few were new to the Group, and all had good questions and comments to share.We discussed starting solids (first step in the weaning process), nighttime nursing/weaning, thrush, etc.
Everyone's questions were answered, and all had a great time.
The next Greater Athens LLL Meeting is Tuesday, March 17, 7:00 p.m. at 2 Story Coffee House, Five Points.
Did You Know?
The American Academy of Pediatrics currently recommends that "Breastfeeding should be continued for at least the first year of life and beyond for as long as mutually desired by mother and child.." And, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF recommend that babies be breastfed for at least two years.
Just as babies do, toddlers receive health benefits from breastfeeding. Your milk continues to provide immunities and vitamins, and can help protect your toddler from illness and allergies. If your toddler does get sick, nursing will help comfort him. In fact, a toddler with an upset stomach may be able to tolerate nothing but human milk.

La Leche League of Greater Athens - February AM Meeting
Lights, Camera . . . Action!
Oscar Night at the AM LLL Meeting!
LLL members and visitors made their way down the red carpet to give their "mommy" acceptance speeches and to share all things Oscar. Each mother was presented with an Oscar as supermom and each had an opportunity to share who has been significant in their motherhood journey in their acceptance speech. Of course it's not the Oscars with out all the food, drinks, beautiful gowns, etc. Meeting participants were able to share questions and concerns about the baby and the family. We talked about solids, reflux issues, weaning, nutrition and much more.
Everyone had a great time!
