LLL meetings are open to all expectant, new and experienced mums who are interested in learning more about breastfeeding. At the meetings we chat, share ideas, support and encourage each other on our individual parenting adventures. We have up-to-date LLL information and a well-stocked library of books to borrow.
Meetings are led by an accredited LLL Leader (breastfeeding counsellor). They are quite informal and relaxed although there may be a suggested topic. Meetings are confidential and you may hear a whole range of ideas and experiences on breastfeeding. Please take whatever works for you and ignore the rest, there is definitely not “one LLL way”.
You don’t have to be a member to come to LLL meetings but by becoming a member you’ll be supporting LLLGB and your local group, and enable us to help more breastfeeding mothers just like you.
