The La Leche League visits Cresco
These meetings offer an opportunity to share and help other mothers with questions and concerns about breastfeeding.
LA LECHE League visited Cresco Preschool and Aftercare recently to talk about nutrition and weaning of infants.
On August 17, La Leche visited the school for their monthly meeting.
La Leche League (LLL) South Africa is a non-profit, non-sectarian volunteer organisation, dedicated to providing information, encouragement and support to women who want to breastfeed their babies or who are currently breastfeeding through a unique mother-to-mother support network. These meetings offer an opportunity to share and help other mothers with questions and concerns about breastfeeding. They are one of the most effective and friendly ways of getting the support they need.
Lisa van Zyl is an experienced breastfeeding mother, trained and accredited by LLL. Van Zyl is the Alberton La Leche League leader who volunteers her time to provide support and information for women, not only who breastfeed but also in special circumstances such as premature babies, multiple births, babies with cleft palate, babies with Down’s Syndrome and many others.
All woman who needs parental advice or a morning out can attend. The children are kept busy with activities while the mom’s socialise and share personal experiences. The meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month. If you would like to join their next La Leche League meeting, please contact Cresco Preschool and Aftercare on 011 867 1139.
