La Leche League of Hattiesburg

La Leche League of Hattiesburg La Leche League of Hattiesburg offers breastfeeding education & support to the Hattiesburg area.

La Leche League is an international nonprofit, nonsectarian organization. Regardless of race, religion, economics, lifestyle or education, La Leche League Leaders are united in their acceptance of our philosophy. We believe:

•Mothering through breastfeeding is the most natural and effective way of understanding and satisfying the needs of the baby.

•Mother and baby need to be together early and

often to establish a satisfying relationship and an adequate milk supply.

•In the early years, the baby has an intense need to be with his mother which is as basic as his need for food.

•Breast milk is the superior infant food.

•For the healthy, full-term baby, breast milk is the only food necessary until the baby shows signs of needing solids, about the middle of the first year after birth.

•Ideally the breastfeeding relationship will continue until the baby outgrows the need.

•Alert and active participation by the mother in childbirth is a help in getting breastfeeding off to a good start.

•Breastfeeding is enhanced and the nursing couple sustained by the loving support, help and companionship of the baby’s father. A father’s unique relationship with his baby is an important element in the child’s development from early infancy.

•Good nutrition means eating a well-balanced and varied diet of foods in as close to their natural state as possible.

•From infancy on, children need loving guidance which reflects acceptance of their capabilities and sensitivity to their feelings.

While I was looking forward to our first meeting of 2024, I do not want anyone to have to get out with babies in this freezing weather.

I am so sorry, but there will not be a meeting this month! We have had to rearrange some of our holiday plans, and I will not be available to lead tomorrow night. I was going to move it to tonight, but I didn't want anyone to have to drive in bad weather. Our next meeting will be December 19. If you need me before then, please feel free to text (6015086022), email ([email protected]), or post in the group. Thank you for understanding. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving week with family! 🤎🧡💛
