Meetings
Breastfeeding? Or considering it? La Leche
League of Sturbridge invites all pregnant and
nursing mothers to learn more and meet mothers
like yourself.
We offer night meetings typically on the
third Thursday
of each month from 7-8:30pm at the
Earth Spirits on Rt. 20 in Sturbridge.
Meetings are free of charge but donations are
greatly appreciated. Babies and small
children welcome. Attend once or as often as you
like.
We also offer meetings during the day
(typically
the fourth Friday of each month) from
10-11:30am at
the Federated Church in Sturbridge on Rt. 131
(next to the Town Hall. Our day
meetings are more playgroup oriented allowing
our children to play with other breastfed
children. Any questions or concerns will be
supported.
Toddler Playgroups
are held the second Tues. of each
month at 1PM at various locations.
You don't have to attend to have your questions
answered. Call a La Leche League Leader anytime.
