"Mother's milk is the gold standard in terms of what is needed to nourish your baby," argues Jennifer Lisimachio of Jersey City. "It is Mother Nature's perfect food."
But some mothers, particularly those who don't have the time or inclination, don't see it that way.
Lisimachio's group feels the need to educate them. She is one of several "leaders," as they call themselves, who helm a popular group called La Leche League that meets monthly in Jersey City and Hoboken.
The League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization that supports and educates mothers about breastfeeding (see sidebar).
They will commemorate World Breastfeeding Week by holding a fundraiser today (Sunday, Sept. 17) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Hoboken and Jersey City, seeking to raise awareness of the benefits of breastfeeding.
