Well yesterday was the last Tuesday daytime breastfeeding group for St. Francis South. It was such a bittersweet moment. We ladies are excited to take up the torch and go help other new moms, but it was so sad to say goodbye to the great staff and some moms and babies we may not see again. I know my daughter will really miss all the playtime with the other toddlers (and all the snacks).
But what I really want to pass on to all of you is the importance of having contact with other people outside of your home especially when you are a new mom. I know you are going to be exhausted, but having an outlet to express feelings and thoughts is so healthy. That is why I am going to miss the group so much. I have come to need that interaction on a weekly basis. If you don't have a group or a friend that you can see on a regular basis, do a little research. Look for a group at church or check out some mom social media sites. One great program is M.O.P.S (Mothers Of Pre-Schoolers). Look for playgroups or start your own. Please don't isolate yourself. Get involved. And please add any ideas to the comment section. Thanks
