For World Breastfeeding Week in August
We will be celebrating world breastfeeding week by holding a potluck brunch Thursday August 10th from 11am to 12pm in the center of Murray Park, between Murray Park Gazebo and the playground. Right afterward, we will be offering fundraiser mini photo sessions from 12:30pm-4pm. Mini photo sessions will be held at Murray park, near Murray Park Gazebo. Sessions are 20 minutes long, for $25 each. Once photos are processed, you will be able to choose 5 digital photos from your session. These are perfect for capturing a special moment nursing your little one, or a natural shot of your child exploring at the park, or even a posed photo with you and your child. Photo session time slots will need to be reserved in advance online. All proceeds will go to our group, LLL of South Valley/Murray. Additional details and link to reserving photo sessions will be on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/lllofsandy)

Exciting Changes for 2017
LLL of South Valley is making some exciting changes in the new year! Beginning in January, we will be merging with LLL of Murray. This means that our regular meeting day will now become the FIRST Tuesday of each month, at 10:15 am. We will be meeting in the Murray location as well (at 496 East 5300 South in Murray); in addition, we plan to hold enrichment meetings every other month, topics of which may include the basics of babywearing, ideas for preparing nutritious meals for the family, toddler specific meetings, night meetings conveniently timed for working moms, and family meetings where dads would be welcome! We will likely hold these at local business Boop Baby; additional information will be posted in our newsletter and on our facebook page as we work out the details. We will still have our regular email address, facebook page, and helpline available even as we merge with LLL of Murray.

Exciting Changes for 2015!
Happy 2015 Breastfeeding moms. We are excited to announce some big changes for LLL of Sandy!
We have a new name, a new meeting location, and a new email address! La Leche League of Sandy has been changed to La Leche League of South Valley. Our new meeting location is South Valley Unitarian Universalist Society, 6876 Highland Dr (2000 East) in Cottonwood Heights. Meetings in the new location will begin with the new year, Tuesday January 13th at 10am being the first meeting date. Our new email address is lllofsouthvalley@gmail.com, please add it to your contacts so that you are sure to still receive our monthly newsletter. Since we will no longer be in Sandy, but nearby, we feel the name change reflects our goal of wanting to serve the entire South end of the valley regardless of where our meetings occur. This new name has no relation to the new location also named "South Valley". As always, LLL is not affiliated with any church or other organization. We are looking forward to meeting in this new location for the following reasons:

We are looking forward to meeting in this new location for the following reasons:
- We will meet in the basement where there are two adjoining rooms, the second room being the nursery where children can play freely with toys and items as we meet.
- There is an outdoor space with tables and a playground we plan to use in nice weather
- Parking and access is much simpler with plenty of spaces available directly outside the building
- For our leaders, this location allows us to store our library and materials, making it easier for us to provide these services to you
- The new location is easily accessible via I-215 and is right off the 2000 East exit making it easier for people coming from different areas of town.
Please feel free to
e-mail us with concerns or if more clarification is needed concerning
the new changes. We are looking forward to seeing you all
there in the New Year!

Milk Ejection Reflex and Negative Emotions. What is going on?
You sit down to nurse. You're tired and looking forward to relaxing with your squishy new baby snuggled comfortably against your chest. You can't wait to hear those reassuring sounds as he sucks, swallows, and breathes.
You're ready.
Ready to soak up the warm touch of your baby's smooth skin, to stroke his back gently with one hand while supporting him with the other. You're ready to feel his tummy move in and out against yours as you enjoy the surge of oxytcin that will pulse through your veins telling your breasts it's time to nurture your baby.
You have your water, your snack, and a good book. Baby latches on, you lean back, you relax, and take a deep breath as you comfortably melt into your couch, but as you exhale you feel like something is not right; maybe you feel homesick, or even helpless. You don't know why or where this is coming from. These negative feelings, that can range from severe to mild, envelope you tightly as you struggle to understand how they could take up residence deep in the pit of your stomach while doing something you enjoy so much.
Breastfeeding.
Baby begins gulping and you know your milk has let-down. A minute passes and everything feels right again. In fact you may even forget about these feelings but next time you sit down to nurse or even if your milk let-down occurs without a nursling at the breast you are reminded, yet again, of these passing emotions that you struggle to understand.
If this sounds familiar to you than you might have Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex or D-MER.
*****
As a new mother with my first baby, a boy, the description above is my experience. After several months the symptoms improved greatly and pretty much disappeared as we nursed into toddler-hood. By the time I was pregnant with my second baby I had forgotten completely about these poorly understood emotions. Then she was born and the uncomfortable feelings were knocking at my breastfeeding door again.
Despite laying in my own bed or sitting on my own couch, every time I placed my brand new baby girl to the breast I felt homesick. It would fill me up with a mild sense of doom I just couldn't shake. The feelings were brief so I accepted them and moved on. I began to expect these feelings just as much as I expected to see my baby start gulping. I knew they would visit just before I felt the familiar sensation of a milk release (note: not all women feel a milk ejection reflex) and expected them to leave within a minute or less. These unexplained, poorly understood feelings were consistent and predictable. In fact, they were so predictable, even when baby wasn't at the breast, I could tell if I was going to have a let-down because I would suddenly feel that all too frequent "ickiness" that started in the pit of my stomach and consumed my body like a virus.
Just as they slowly left me with my first baby they faded with my second. It wasn't until one of the breastfeeding facebook pages I "like" posted an article about D-MER did I know that what I was experiencing had a name, or even that it existed beyond my own experience. It was my "aha moment!" A physiological reaction to a drop in dopamine!
*****
So what is Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex?
According to Kellymom.com "'Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex is a condition affecting lactating women that is characterized by an abrupt dysphoria, or negative emotions, that occur just before milk release and continuing not more than a few minutes.' This is a physiological response (not a psychological response) that appears to be tied to a sudden decrease in the brain chemical dopamine immediately before milk let-down."

Saying Goodbye
Le Leche League of Sandy is sad to announce that Renee and Rocio are officially retired as La Leche League Leaders. Everything they have done for La Leche League is and will always be appreciated. I am sad to see them go, a bit nervous to carry on, but excited for the future of La Leche League of Sandy. Change, although scary, is necessary. I know our community of breastfeeding moms will continue to support me, and I will continue to support you as we experience this change together!!
In light of LLL of Sandy losing two wonderful Leaders to retirement, enrichment meetings are not currently being held as I find my footing during this change.

Foods I Should Avoid?
One of the LLLI philosophy concepts states, "Good nutrition means eating a well-balanced and varied diet of foods in as close to their natural state as possible." Thus, in general, no food is excluded from the list of foods a breastfeeding mother should eat. Obviously, it is best to make sure the foods you eat are fresh and healthy. The concept of variety is important, because by eating a number of foods, you can be sure to obtain different nutrients and do not eat too much of any one food.
Every culture has lists of foods that are "good" and "bad" for breastfeeding mothers. It happens very often that foods believed to be good in one culture are considered bad in others! In Italy, mothers are often told not to eat garlic, cauliflower, lentils and red peppers. In India most mothers eat all these things and breastfeed very happily. Actually, in parts of India they believe that garlic helps a mother to breastfeed successfully!
Generally, anything you are happy eating is okay for you to eat while you are breastfeeding. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. If you have a family medical history of allergy, it is worth being careful about your diet and avoiding known allergens during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you notice that your baby reacts badly after you have eaten something, it may be best to leave that food out of your diet for a while. There is an excellent article on our Web site called " Allergies and the Breastfeeding Family," which may help you if you are worried about allergies.
See also myths 12 and 21 in the article "Common Breastfeeding Myths" for more information about what a breastfeeding mother needs to eat, and our resource page on Breastfeeding and Allergies.

2012 Breastfeeding Café
Have you heard about the Breastfeeding Café? Wondering what it's all about? Read this excerpt from the Breastfeeding Café website. For more information visit http://breastfeedingcafe.wordpress.com/. To volunteer to help at the café email Renee at reneeyeoman@gmail.com.
The Breastfeeding Cafe is an outreach project of the Utah Breastfeeding Coalition. Our goals are to…
1. Show that breastfeeding is normal
2. Inspire thought and conversation about breastfeeding
3. Encourage relationships among breastfeeding advocates
The Breastfeeding Cafe grew from the needs of nursing mothers, including local mom Susan Johnson who wished for a welcoming spirit and place while nursing her own daughter in the 90s. A Utah Breastfeeding Coalition member, La Leche League Leader and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Susan envisioned a gathering place in which nursing mothers and their children would be welcomed in the community.
An annual Coalition event, The Breastfeeding Cafe is possible thanks to the generosity and nurturing spirit of volunteers from all over the valley. Together with our sponsors and visitors we look forward to a time when every day is one of acceptance for nursing families.
Thank you for celebrating the everyday importance of breastfeeding!

Enrichment Meeting
Don't forget that we will be having an enrichment meeting this month. On May 22nd at 10am we will be discussing Gentle Discipline. This is a wonderful topic that is applicable to babies and children of all ages. We encourage everyone to come to this meeting as enrichment meetings are now open to everyone, not just members. Hope to see you there.
Also, our next series meeting will be held at Willowcreek Park. Willowcreek Park is located at 8400 South 2000 East in Sandy and is just up the road from our usual meeting location. This will be a casual meeting where moms can mingle while having the option to ask leaders questions. A leader will be at the park and available for help, support and questions from 10am until noon. Bring a sack lunch if you'd like and don't forget the sunscreen!
Looking forward to a fun summer! See you there!
