The October La Leche League breastfeeding support meetings will be on Thursday, October 16th, at 10:00am at the Church of Christ, located at 9955 Bunkum Rd, Fairview Heights, IL, 62208, and Saturday, October 18th, at 10:00am at Our Lord's Lutheran Church, 150 Wilma Dr, Maryville, IL, 62062. La Leche League meetings welcome anyone who is pregnant, nursing, hand expressing, exclusively pumping, combination feeding, providing their own milk or donor milk for a child, or trying to do so. We also welcome those who are interested in the information we offer.
If you bring toddlers or older children, please bring quiet toys for them since we don't have any toys at either church to keep them occupied.
Fathers are welcome at the Saturday meeting.
If you need breastfeeding help before the meeting, please call Dee at 618-344-1681, or Michelle at 573-247-3042.

Meetings are led by an accredited LLL Leader (breastfeeding counselor). Urgent questions are always given priority. Support will be given to anyone experiencing pain while nursing, or having difficulties with positioning, latch/attachment etc. Please never leave an LLL meeting with unanswered questions!
You might see someone expressing milk or using a bottle at an LLL meeting, you might see toddlers being breastfed – all are welcome. La Leche League is all about nurturing. We support anyone who nurses or provides human milk in having wonderfully close, satisfying relationships with their babies.
LLL has no affiliation with any religious organization, but we are thankful to the church for allowing us to use this meeting space.
