I'm an American mom of 3 who started the Moscow Mommy Milk Meetup group in September 2004. After living in Moscow for 12 years, my husband's job took us to Minsk, but I try to visit the group as often as I can. I miss you all!
I have so many happy memories in the 9 years breastfeeding my 3 children! It's bittersweet to "retire" from this stage of mothering.
Emma weaned herself over the summer, at the age of 2 years, 10 months. Just like her older sister said at the same age, she told me the milk was "all gone" and that she didn't "need" milk anymore.
I grew up in the US, but spent 12 years in Moscow, Russia, and the last 2 in Minsk, Belarus. There are some elements of "home" in each place!
The Mommy Milk Meetup is Russia's first official La Leche League meeting in the entire territory of Russia. LLL Leader Katya Lokshina has a gift for calmly helping with breastfeeding questions and problems, as well as inspiring new, expecting moms and helping them prepare for parenthood.
