from Susan Leibman

Useful, relevant sessions are one of the best things about an LDS, and Norma Ritter is one of the best things about La Leche League. I attended Norma's latch presentation at the Baltimore LDS in 2002, and I immediately loved her so much that I determined right then and there to be a Leader for the rest of my life. I knew I'd laugh and be inspired all over again, so I signed up for a second go here in Albany. I wasn't disappointed! With her trademark humor, Norma reminded us how smart babies are when we let them run the show. It was fun to realize that 90% of what I tell a new mother about latch even all these years later comes right from Norma's excellent examples . . . and I got a new tidbit today about using the breast to encourage the baby to open wide ~ assuring a deep latch and positioning the nipple perfectly in baby's mouth. Thanks, Norma, for another wonderful session, and for continuing to offer your gifts to La Leche League!
