In generations past, many mothers had plenty of support for breastfeeding their babies because their mothers, grandmothers and sisters had breastfed. Now many of us live far away from our families and most likely, they didn't breastfed. Breastfeeding is natural, but it is a learned art. Attending an LLL meeting and seeing other mothers breastfeed their babies helps new and expectant mothers learn how to nurture their babies too.
What are the meeting topics? In-depth information on breastfeeding is presented through discussions on the following topics:
The advantages of breastfeeding. Mothers are amazed to hear about the many remarkable qualities of human milk, their bodies fantastic ability to produce milk as well as the positive impact breastfeeding has on families, the environment and society.
Adjusting to life with a new baby. This meeting focuses on the first six weeks and offers tips to make the transition into being a family as smooth as possible.
Overcoming difficulties. Leaders and mothers have excellent ideas to help mothers overcome roadblocks that may impede breastfeeding progress.
Nutrition and weaning. Pregnant women enjoy this topic so they can optimize their unborn baby's health. Mothers learn how to start solids for their babies. Nutritious options for family meals are shared.

You can go dairy free!
Thank you to Lauren for guest posting. This information can be very useful for someone needing to go dairy free because your baby has allergic signs or reflux. Not every nursing mother will have issues with dairy.
**Disclaimer...I am not a medical professional or a LLL leader. This is info I gathered through my own research (on the internet, talking to other mamas, Lactation Consultants, our pediatrician, etc). Please do your own research, contact professionals, and use common sense when it comes to your health and the health of your child!**
When Crawford was born, I was speaking with the LC one day and mentioned that I hadn't breastfed Wesley for very long, and that he had been labeled a "happy spitter" until I switched him from milk-based formula to soy formula. She suggested I go ahead and limit the amount of milk/dairy in my diet, as it sounded like he may have had an intolerance and Crawford likely would too. She gave me a few handouts on "hidden dairy" which I glanced over, then promptly forgot about.
Well, by the time C was between 10 days and 2 weeks old, it was obvious that there was some kind of problem. She was having an excessive number of dirty diapers a day, which were very runny, mucoussy, green and extremely smelly. She was generally a very happy, content baby, but she would suddenly scream out in pain and tense up whenever she was about to pass gas or had a bowel movement--this would even happen when she was in a deep sleep. She spit up often (although not as much as W had!), almost always had a red bottom, and had some dry patches appearing on her skin. The conversation with the hospital LC started ringing in my head. I went ahead and cut out all obvious sources of dairy and planned on speaking with our pedi at C's check-up the next day. Maybe it was my imagination, but I swear she seemed to be more comfortable even just 24 hours after I eliminated the multiple glasses of milk, cheese, ice cream, etc. out of my daily diet.
I spoke with the pediatrician about what I was observing, and he agreed that it sounded like a milk protein intolerance. He was a bit worried about an elimination diet because (as he said) if I don't eat a healthy, well-balanced diet, my child won't, and also because I was recovering from major surgery (c-section). I decided, though, that I was willing to really monitor my diet to ensure that I stayed healthy, while also ensuring the health of my child. For the next week, I cut out all obvious and hidden sources of dairy, and saw a marked change in Crawford...she was more comfortable, her stools were less frequent and a bit more normal, the dry patches on her skin were smaller. I had read a statistic, though, that the majority of babies who have a milk-protein intolerance also had soy-protein intolerance, so I realized that I needed to go ahead and "bite the bullet" and cut out soy as well. Also, proteins can stay in mom's system for about a week and a half, and in baby's system for another week an a half, so it takes up to 3 weeks to really see if there is a dramatic change with an elimination diet. I felt like I should go ahead and cut out the two suspected sources, and see how she did.
Fast forward a few weeks, and WOW, what a change! Normal stools, no more tense, screaming baby, no more diaper rash, no more rough spots on her skin. I remained dairy and soy free until Crawford was around 8 months old ("testing" every month to six weeks or so with a small amount of milk or cheese...and seeing the negative reactions very quickly) at which point she was able to handle small amounts of dairy and soy in my diet.
Here is some information and websites that I found very helpful in the months I was dairy and soy free.
• There is no simple test to determine a MSPI, nor is there a "quick fix" or medication for it. The way to test and to treat is to eliminate the suspected cause. Your pediatrician may want you to bring in a stool sample to test for blood (mine did) as this can be an indicator of a MSPI.
• MSPI is NOT the same as an allergy, and is not the same as being "lactose intolerant". Most MSPIs are outgrown by baby's first birthday.
• One important thing to remember is that labels won't just include the words "milk" or "soy"...there are so many different names for milk-based and soy-based ingredients.
Dairy ingredients: http://www.kellymom.com/store/freehandouts/hidden-dairy01.pdf.
Soy ingredients: http://foodallergies.about.com/od/soyallergies/a/List-Of-Soy-Ingredients-To-Avoid-When-Following-A-Soy-Free-Diet.htm
• I found conflicting information on butter and also soy lecithin. Some sources said they were fine because they are fats not protein, some sources I found said that they should be avoided because they were made from dairy/soy. Personally, I was able to have *small* amounts of both without Crawford showing any adverse reactions.
• Milk-Free Mama (http://milkfreemama.blogspot.com/) is a personal blog that appears to have lots of good information.
• Bean Mom (http://www.beanmom.com/nomilk.html) has a great list of resources, although some of the links appear to be outdated.
• MSPI Guide (http://www.mspiguide.com/helpfulinfo1.cfm) has quite a bit of helpful info, as well as a cookbook that can be purchased (I didn't purchase it so I can't speak for it's helpfulness)
• The No Milk Page is a great resource (http://nomilk.com/)
• Someone suggested (why didn't I think of this?!) that when you're out to eat, make sure to tell the waiter that you're allergic to milk and soy, and have them help you and/or speak with the chef about what is safe for you to eat. For me, I basically stopped eating out at all, or would get something like a salad with no cheese, no creamy dressings, etc.
• I didn't know how I would survive without my morning cup of coffee and my (way too often) evening bowl of ice cream. I found that for coffee, heating a mug of vanilla rice milk and then adding a generous spoonful of instant coffee was a good substitute. For ice cream, I preferred rice-milk desserts rather than the coconut ones.
• Just because something says "non-dairy" (like coffee creamer) does not mean it's dairy free.
• Eating a dairy and soy free diet actually helped me cut out many of the processed and/or pre-prepared foods I had gotten used to eating. I made basically everything I ate from scratch...and we had many, many, many meals of grilled/roasted chicken, grilled/steamed/roasted veggies, and whole wheat pasta or rice. I'm sure you can get much more creative than I did :)
• Many chain type restaurants have allergy info on their websites that you can consult before dining out.
• Once C was able to tolerate me eating milk/soy ingredients for a few months, I began to slowly introduce milk/soy into her (solids) diet. Unfortunately, it did NOT go well. Many of the same symptoms from those first weeks were cropping up, although they weren't nearly as severe. Now at 15 months old, she can handle very small amounts of dairy/soy ingredients (ex. a small sprinkle of Parmesan on pasta, soy sauce used in a marinade on meat/chicken, etc) but cannot eat large amounts of yogurt/cheese/milk/edamame, etc. Our pediatrician feels that she will outgrow this by 18-24 months old.
I hope that this information has been helpful. I promise, if your child has MSPI, going dairy and soy free is not nearly as hard as it seems in the beginning. And, it's all worth it to have a happy, healthy, thriving nursling!!

Books on Breastfeeding for Pregnant or New Moms
We seem to be getting a lot of emails and phone calls from pregnant or new moms who are looking for basic information on breastfeeding. A little knowledge goes a long way...information will help you make the right choice for your family.
Some moms find themselves reading many pregnancy books or birth books and not realizing they may not find the time to read when the baby or babies arrive. Think of it this way...you will be pregnant for 9 months and a parent the rest of your life. :)
Here are some of our favorites:
The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding 8th Edition by LLLI
Breastfeeding Made Simple: Seven Natural Laws for Nursing Mothers by Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, Nancy Mohrbacher, and Jack Newman
The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers: The Most Comprehensive Problem-Solving Guide to Breastfeeding by Jack Newman and Teresa Pitman
The Breastfeeding Mother's Guide to Making More Milk by Diana West and Lisa Marasco
Nursing Mother, Working Mother: The Essential Guide for Breastfeeding and Staying Close to Your Baby After You Return to Work by Gale Pryor
Mothering Multiples: Breastfeeding and Caring for Twins or More by Karen Kerkhoff Gromada
There are many others out there - some with good research and some full of one person's opinion. Some are good for special circumstances. We can recommend further reading when you come to a meeting or contact us. Enjoy and happy reading!

September La Leche League
September is a BUSY Month for La Leche League of Charleston, SC
This month we have a meeting at St. Andrew's Church in the Old Village. It will be the first Friday of the month (9/2) and will start at 10:15 and run until around 11:30 a.m. The church is on the corner of Venning and Whilden Streets in Mt. Pleasant. This meeting will focus on the advantages of breastfeeding. We will discuss the impact on society, the home & family, and of course the mom and baby. As always, the meeting will take on a life of its own depending on the direction of the moms and babies that attend.
On Saturday, September 10th many of us will be at Roper St. Francis Baby Fair. If you are pregnant or nursing, come by our table and say hello. We'd love to meet you and give you our flyer and any other info we can. This is always a fun time and there are always great prizes too!
Our West Ashely meeting will be held the third Friday of the month (9/16) and will start at 10:15. The meeting is held at John Wesley United Methodist Church on US17. Please don't worry if you won't be on time. We understand "baby time"! Come and have your concerns answered and meet like-minded moms! Come in the front entrance of the church and go through the set of double glass doors to the room near the gymnasium. This meeting will focus on the benefits of breastfeeding as well but as always the moms decide the tone and direction of the meeting so don't be afraid to come and ask anything on the topic of breastfeeding and baby care.
Our Northern Mount Pleasant meeting will be the third Tuesday of the month (9/20) at Mount Pleasant Hospital. Any new attendees please know it is simple to find us. Simply ask the people at the front desk to direct you to the La Leche League meeting and they will escort you to the meeting room. This meeting will be focusing on adjusting to life with a new baby. We will especially be discussing the first six weeks and the family transition but any age nursling is welcome to any meeting.
As always, all meetings are FREE. We love it if you can buy a membership if you've felt supported by the group but we never expect you to be a member to attend or call us. Babies and children are always welcome to meetings...it really helps for us to see you nursing if you have a challenge. We love to meet you while you are still pregnant so you can avoid some of the "booby traps" so come in pregnant OR nursing. Feel free to bring a friend or even your mom or mother-in-law with you! Hope to see you in September!

Our West Ashely meeting will be held the third Friday of the month (9/16) and will start at 10:15. The meeting is held at John Wesley United Methodist Church on US17. Please don't worry if you won't be on time. We understand "baby time"! Come and have your concerns answered and meet like-minded moms! Come in the front entrance of the church and go through the set of double glass doors to the room near the gymnasium. This meeting will focus on the benefits of breastfeeding as well but as always the moms decide the tone and direction of the meeting so don't be afraid to come and ask anything on the topic of breastfeeding and baby care.
Our Northern Mount Pleasant meeting will be the third Tuesday of the month (9/20) at Mount Pleasant Hospital. Any new attendees please know it is simple to find us. Simply ask the people at the front desk to direct you to the La Leche League meeting and they will escort you to the meeting room. This meeting will be focusing on adjusting to life with a new baby. We will especially be discussing the first six weeks and the family transition but any age nursling is welcome to any meeting.
As always, all meetings are FREE. We love it if you can buy a membership if you've felt supported by the group but we never expect you to be a member to attend or call us. Babies and children are always welcome to meetings...it really helps for us to see you nursing if you have a challenge. We love to meet you while you are still pregnant so you can avoid some of the "booby traps" so come in pregnant OR nursing. Feel free to bring a friend or even your mom or mother-in-law with you! Hope to see you in September!

Thanks for being counted!!
The Big-Latch-On is a way to share love and joy of breastfeeding while also trying to break a world record for simultaneously breastfeeding at one time. Today we had 35 moms, (32 nursing mom/baby sets) and one dad come out for the event. We couldn't have had such a successful and fun event without the people who volunteered time and energy today to spread the word, put up flyers, add it to their social pages, make posters, email moms, and bring balloons, clip-boards and pens! Thanks to all the Leaders and Members of La Leche League who were part of this event and thanks to all the moms who attended to make the day extra special. Thanks also to Kimberly, C.J. and Susan who were our witnesses & counters! Have a great weekend!
