A new bilingual La Leche League group has been launched in the Pays de Gex, offering support to breastfeeding and pregnant moms.
The new group is especially useful for expat women who are potentially far removed from their original support networks of family and friends, and who might find breastfeeding challenging in the early days. La Leche League fills this void by connecting mothers with one another to share their experiences and encourage each other to become confident in their mothering skills, while also providing up-to-date information and breastfeeding research.
La Leche League (LLL) is an international, non-profit organization with the mission to give information and encouragement to mothers wishing to breastfeed their babies, and is run by volunteer leaders. Accredited leaders are moms who have breastfed themselves, been trained and are keeping up-to-date on current breastfeeding research.
Inaugurated in March of this year, LLL Pays de Gex is holding free monthly meetings in English and French on different topics concerning breastfeeding. Topics include, for example, the advantages of breastfeeding, avoiding problems, common difficulties, introducing solids and weaning.
For up-to-date meeting information and specific topics, you are invited to follow the group on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/BreastfeedingPaysdeGex/. Individual support is also available through email or telephone
Meetings are held in Ségny, in the heart of the Pays de Gex, connected to Geneva by the F bus line, and on the Route Nationale between Ferney Voltaire and Gex.
The next 2017 meetings are scheduled to be Thursday:
- 14 September, 9h-11h
- 5 October, 9h-11h
- 9 November, 9h-11h
- 7 December, 9h-11h
