La Leche League meets Wednesday, March 11 was the regular meeting of La Leche League (LLL) t'i1 Huron County South. The group met at the home of Mrs. Peter Bisback with over 30 people in attendance. Mrs. Bisback welcomed the mothers and shared with them some of the league's history and told them about some of the great changes in parenting that have taken place in the past 25 years. When Le Leche League began, solid foods were introduced between the ages of one and three months., LLL mothers found that it pla to atten was best to delay solids until the middle of the first year. Over the years there was criticism from the medical community but now the American and Canadian academies of pediatrics agree with LLL and now recommend delayed solids. Many babies avoided allergies because of this one stand LLL took. In the early 50's childbrith was a mystery to many women, and there was only one lay book on the subject. Moat mothers were anesthetized and hospitalized for 10 days or more, but today, more births are natural, fathers attend the birth and childbirth classes are readily available. When LLL began nutrition was only a word in the dic- tionary. Most people had heard of the basic food groups, but not many thought about good nutrition when preparing their family meals and buying snacks. Reading labels was an in- novation to the mothers corning to League meetings. LLL recommended eating food in as close to its natural state as possible. Today many people are nutritious conscious. Printed information about breast feeding was next to impossible to find in 1956 and what did exist was very technical and difficult to understand. To date there are more than 1,200,000 copies of LLL's manual in circulation in English, French, Spanish, German and Dutch on tape and in Braille. Today there is much in print for the nursing mother. The group discussion centred on dispelling old wives' tales and each mother introduced herself and shared experiences and advice given to her, some negative, but a lot of positive information was passed a long. Mrs. Bisback reminded the women that next month's meeting, on April 8 will be held at 8 p.m. in Hensall. The group then had an op- portunity to select books and reprints from the loan library. Home baked goods, fresh fruit . and juices brought by the members V were served to the mothers and children. Best wishes were sent to Gwen Kier of Goderich. She was the winner of a logo contest for Huron County Playhouse in Grand Bend, ;and also shares the distin- ction of designing a most attractive logo for LLL in Huron County over two years ago. Mrs. Kier is an inspiration to all women who wish to maintain their creativity and individuality while com- bining it with the demands mothering small children and finding satisfaction from both sides of being a parent. It's nice to know some one who is family -centered, who sets aside one career for another very important career and is still able to achieve some sort of recognition for her talents, mothers who question about nursing or want information about Le Leche League can call anytime these members – in Hensall, 262-2192; in Goderich, 524-2350 and in Belgrave, 887-9253.
