When you need to leave your baby

It was great to see lots of people at the meeting on 9 June. The meeting got a little hectic, so do remember that you can contact a Leader in between meetings if you had a concern that we didn't get a chance to talk about at the meeting.


It was lovely to see Lorraine and Callum again and to welcome Daisy to her first LLL meeting!

There are a few information sheets that LLL publish that are helpful if you are going back to work or if you need to leave your baby with someone else for a length of time. These are:


When Mum Can't Be There
Workday Practicalities
Working and Breastfeeding
Storing Your Milk
Hand Expression of Breast Milk
Choosing a Breast Pump


They cost 75p each and you can get them from here.



There are also some useful books in our library on working and breastfeeding, such as Hirkanis Daughters.


We look forward to seeing you on Thursday 23 June from 10.30am to 12ish for the next Summer Social in Cotham Gardens Park, or Rimando's Cafe if it is raining, to celebrate Breastfeeding Awareness Week!.


And don't forget the Big Bristol Breastfeed! This will be a great gathering of Bristol breastfeeding mums, also to celebrate Breastfeeding Awareness Week. It will be on Saturday 25 June from 10am to 4pm in Anchor Square, next to @Bristol. There is a mass breastfeed planned for 12pm. It promises to be a lot of fun so come along and spread the word. There is more info on the Big Bristol Breastfeed Facebook page.
