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.
