I have to agree that any meeting aimed at new moms should be scheduled for mid-
morning or later. Heck, most of our LLL moms have a hard time making it to
9:30 am meetings before 10 am! And many of these moms are pretty post-post-
partum, ie, their babies are 9 mos or a year old or older. They may or may not
have older kids. It's my observation that attachment-style parenting often
leads to later bedtimes, which leads to later wake-up times, and therefore
later get-out-the-door times.
Andrea, great ideas for the class. One subject you might address is "dealing
with people in your life who are not well-informed about bfg." Any mom who
nurses beyond a few months is likely to encounter skeptical relatives, friends,
and strangers. Of course these people have the potential to undermine a
nursing mom's confidence. Dealing with naysayers is always a popular topic at
LLL meetings with both experienced and inexperienced nursing moms.
Count me among those interesting in hearing how it goes.
