WBW 2019 La Leche League - West Group Support Meeting

Special Edition of our usual Monthly Meeting on the First Thursday of the Month for World Breastfeeding Week.

It is down the driveway between two real estate offices. We are in the Sunday School Room As you enter the front doors, turn left, then right down the corridor - we will have some signs to direct you also.

If you have any questions or topics of particular interest, feel free to bring them to the meeting or email/Facebook us in advance.

Bring a plate to share if you can, but if your morning doesn't co-operate don't let it stop you from joining us!

“The #WBW2019 slogan “Empower Parents, Enable Breastfeeding” was chosen to be inclusive of all types of parents in today’s world. Focusing on supporting both parents to be empowered is vital in order to realise their breastfeeding goals.

Empowerment is a process that requires evidence-based unbiased information and support to create the enabling environment where mothers can breastfeed optimally. Breastfeeding is in the mother’s domain and when fathers, partners, families, workplaces, and communities support her, breastfeeding improves.

We can all support this process, as breastfeeding is a team effort. To enable breastfeeding we all need to protect, promote and support it.” - World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA)

We will be putting together a WBW Raffle to raise funds for LLL Dunedin West group to keep our group going with things like new books for the Group library, tea and coffee at meetings, and continuing professional development support for our volunteer Leaders.

We will draw the raffle at our Saturday afternoon tea, so watch out on our page and group for more info!
