La Leche League

Happy World Breastfeeding week everyone! For those of you who are breastfeeding....thanks for helping out the planet by doing so. And remember, if anyone of you needs some support with their breastfeeding journey, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Today, 24/7 is International Self care Day. This is a reminder that self care can benefit us 24/7. I know firsthand how hard it is to find the time as a parent, but if you’re up for a challenge Today maybe you can carve out 5 minutes for just you! Or even just 1 minute

This is good for a laugh!! How many of you have experienced some of these positions? I have had the pleasure of experiencing 4 of them

I found this article very interesting, since medical imaging is my day job. It’s a bit technical, but if nothing else check out the photos. They are really cool!

We have a new leader! Shawna is very much looking forward to supporting the breastfeeding/chestfeeding families in our community. Due to COVID 19 La Leche League Canada is currently not allowing in-person meetings. We are hoping to host our first meeting (virtually) soon. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need support on your breastfeeding journey. Contact info can be found on our webpage https://www.lllc.ca/lllc-surrey

Please note LLL Surrey is taking a break. We have a leader applicant working through her application. I am having to step away due to a very hectic schedule at UBC to pursue my dream of Midwifery. I will post here once the group becomes active again. In the meantime check out LLL Langley https://www.lllc.ca/lllc-langley
