Welcome to the LLL of Springfield MO blog.
We meet twice a month for informal mother-to-mother (or mother-to-be!) breastfeeding support. One or more La Leche League International accredited Leaders are present at each meeting. Our 2009 meeting schedule is:
- 2nd Monday of each month – evening meeting: 6:30-8:30 p.m. at The Library Center on Cambell south of James River Expressway in Mtg. Room A.
- 3rd Friday of each month – Morning meetings canceled until further notice.
********************************************************************************
With the swine flu in the news right now, we feel it might be a good time for a gentle reminder to please keep your germs at home. Now, as always, feel free to contact a leader via phone and email to answer any breastfeeding related questions or concerns instead of coming to LLL meetings sick. Dr. Sears had the following statement regarding swine flu from: www.askdrsears.com/thevaccinebook/2009/04/swine-flu-outbreak-is-it-time-to-panic.asp
“EVERYONE NEEDS TO DO THEIR PART AND STAY HOME IF YOU ARE ILL WITH FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS, COVER YOUR MOUTH IF YOU SNEEZE OR COUGH, WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY, AND CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR AND ASK ABOUT BEING TESTED FOR THE SWINE FLU IN THEIR OFFICE WITHOUT INFECTING EVERYONE ELSE THERE.”
********************************************************************************
Babies and children are always welcome and each mother watches her own. So that we all can get the most out of our discussion, please attend to your older children. Bringing along quiet activities can be helpful. We ask that children not be allowed to run, yell or otherwise disrupt the meeting.
Mothers are welcome to contact a Leader for breastfeeding information or assistance between meetings as well.
- Local Phone Helpline: (417) 201-4242 (Your message is forwarded to a volunteer Leader “on call” who will phone you back shortly.)
- Or e-mail the Leaders: lllofspringfield@gmail.com
We look forward to seeing you soon!
WarmLLLy,
La Leche League of Springfield, MO
