This LLLC Group Typically Meets: 2nd Thursday of the month

Meeting For: All women-interested (expecting/moms, sisters, grandmas, girlfriends)

BREASTFEEDING – Making the decision
Breastfeeding is the feeding of choice. The next best thing to breast milk is a commercial infant formula. Most women are able to breastfeed provided they get the support they need, Breastfeeding has many benefits. Breastfed babies have fewer allergies and infections. Breastfeeding is easy once mom and baby learn how and takes less time then bottle feeding. Breastfeeding also costs less as you don’t have to buy commercial formulas and all the bottles with extras. Breast milk is easy for baby to digest, has exactly the right nutrition for baby, and adjusts to his/her changing needs.
If you choose not to breastfeed and cannot afford commercial formula, do not give your baby regular cow’s or goat’s milk or soy drink during the first 9-12 months. Talk to your public health or community nurse or registered nutritionist about other options.

In British Columbia, there are two basic child care categories: licensed and license not required (LNR), also known as informal child care. Families should also be aware that LNR’s can be registered with Child Care Resource and Referral. Registration requires that LNR’s meet specific registration requirements, such as current first aid certification, criminal record check and home assessment for safety and developmental appropriateness. For information regarding Registered LNR’s, please contact your CCRR office, 604-815-4144. Most LNR child care arrangements include the caregiver’s own children and one or two children not related to the caregiver. LNR caregivers may or may not have had formal child care training or previous child care experience. Caregivers set their own hours of operation, fee schedule and operating policies. Parents are solely responsible for supervising and monitoring the quality of care in license-not-required settings.

***Only Registered LNR’s are listed with CCRR.
