    I hope that all women that are pregnant, or have a new baby will either contact a LLL leader, or come to a meeting and get current information, and FABULOUS support on breastfeeding.
    The meetings are fun, and it is so wonderful to get together once a month with other moms that are trying to feed their babies naturally.
    Oh, and even if you are not nursing, if you want to nurse the next time, then come out to a meeting, and get armed with power and accurate information.
