Breastfeeding Clinic

Hi all-
I thought I would let you know about the monthly "Breastfeeding Clinic/ Nursing Mother Support Group" we hold.
All pregnant women, new moms and babies, and older babies are welcome to attend. Meetings are held the last Wednesday evening of the month from 6-7:30 pm, and are at the North Hastings Children's Services Building (Day Care Center) at 20 Hastings Heritage Way in Bancroft.
Many different topics about breastfeeding and parenting are discussed.  It is Free.
Guest speaker for this month (Wed. Jan 25/12) is Leslie Jenkins from "Families First", who will speak about Early Literacy. Babies will receive a new book.
I will let you know every month who the guest speaker will be, and the topics that will be covered. The group is informal and we can talk about whatever issues a mom is having at the time.
Call 613 332 6783 ex 232 if you need more info.
