Dear friends,
I just needed to say a few words about church. We belonged to an old church
with a lot of senior citizens. When I got pregnant 27 years ago. I was the
first one to have a baby in years. We were advisors of the teen group. I not
only breastfed in church but I breastfed at all teen functions. We did a lot of
good sex ed without even trying. When more young families came to the church,
they found a baby friendly nursery run by my teen group. They brought any
unhappy baby to mom and dad. The pastor and a few of us strange LLL mothers
changed the church. Even now I make sure our baby friendly philosophy is still
observed. We are the only ones who can change the church.
Happy Holidays to all faiths,
Diane Herforth,
