La Leche League Meeting Tomorrow

La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing support, encouragement, information, and education to women who want to breastfeed. All women who are pregnant and interested in breastfeeding and all mothers who are currently breastfeeding are invited to attend meetings for an enjoyable time … of mother-to-mother sharing. Babies and children are always welcome, and refreshments are provided.

The Series meetings rotate through four main breastfeeding topics, but always cover new ground as the moms in attendance share their experiences, and as different aspects of each topic are explored.

Please help spread the word so that any mother who could use some support in breastfeeding her child will be able to come!!

Spotted: Zainab with a Babe au Lait nursing cover

While browsing through Bebe au Lait’s fan page, I came across this beautiful picture of a Kuwaiti mommy using the Bebe au Lait nursing cover.

The caption underneath the picture said: “LA 2010 @ Madamme Tassaudes right next to Justin Timberlakes wax figure :p”

I loved the picture so much that I contacted her and asked if i could post it on our blog.

Thank you Zainab! Such a gorgeous picture
