The local La Leche League group along with many others around the world will be celebrating the gift of breastfeeding in the month of August. A picnic at Richardson Park, behind Lylburn Downing Middle School will be this month’s meeting location to discuss the joys of breastfeeding while enjoying the great outdoors Tuesday, Aug. 8, at 11 a.m.
Breastfeeding is an ancient art and breastfeeding women deserve support in the hospital, workplace out in public or wherever they may be with a hungry baby. Mothers need to know what a positive impact breastfeeding has on their baby’s health, their health and the community as a whole.
Bring a lunch and plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. There are park benches, a pavilion and plenty of shade. For questions or directions call (540) 463-9234, (540) 460-3966 or (540) 464 3110.
