Did you know the proportion 📊of protein, carbs, and fats in human milk 💦is more like that of primates🦍🐒🦧, whose babies cling to them and have small, frequent 🕜 meals throughout the day?

Our milk💦 isn't ❌ like cows' 🐄and deer🦌 milk; their babies follow to feed and turn into huge ⬆️animals really quickly. It's not like rabbit🐇 milk; they leave their babies in the den and stay small.

No wonder human babies need to breastfeed 🤱🏻often and expect to be held! (Have you tried baby wearing?)

Join us this weekend for our monthly support group. - https://mailchi.mp/3579e31ba0f6/join-us-this-weekend-for-our-monthly-support-group

Please join us at our November Virtual La Leche League meetings. This month we will talk more about the basics of breastfeeding! So many of us have "those stories" from the first few weeks home as a new parent. Let's come together as a community and share what we learned, what we wonder, our anxieties, how we settled into our new roles and what we loved about that time in our babies' lives.

Sunday, 11/23 @ 10:0 0a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Planning for Thanksgiving? Don't be a turkey 🦃 -- take a break and nurse🤱 your baby!

🍽️ Let someone else set the table while you breastfeed in a quiet room and recharge.

🥵 Feeling overwhelmed? Your baby probably is, too! Take a break and breastfeed🤱, and give Baby some antibodies against whatever germs are around the table.

🗣️Trying to avoid politics 📺 but someone at the table won't follow the rules? Step away "because Baby needs to nurse!"
