Show Nursing Moms To Meet Oct. 19 The Bountiful group of La Leche League will hold its second meeting of a series on Tuesday, Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. at the home of Susan Cleverly, 780 N. 660 W., West Bountiful. THE NAME, La Leche is Spanish and means "the milk". A non-sectarian, nonprofit non-profit organization, the league's purpose is to help encourage good mothering through breastfeeding. The group will meet the third Tuesday of each month. A series of four meetings will discuss informally different phases of breastfeeding. TOPIC FOR the second meeting is the "Art of Breastfeeding." Discussion leader will be Araina Thors-ness. Thors-ness. All women who are interested in nursing their babies are invited. . . as are their babies. You need not be pregnant or even have a family to attend. IF YOU ARE a wife and hope someday to have children, if you are a grandmother, grand-mother, if you are interested. . . . you are welcome. La Leche League began in a Chicago suburb nearly twenty years ago, when one mother who had successfully nursed her baby helped another who wanted to breastfeed. THIS IS still the basic approach, although the League is now international in scope with more than 2,000 groups helping thousands of women in the United States, Canada and over thirty foreign countries. The Annual State Area meeting will be Saturday, Nov. 6 at the Holiday Inn. Advance registration is required. FORMS MAY be obtained at the meeting Tuesday or by calling Araina Thorsness, 295-4059. Cost is $10 for mothers, $5 for fathers, L includes snacks and lunch. |
