What happens at a La Leche League meeting?
The discussion is opened by one of the group's leaders and we all go round and introduce ourselves and our little ones. Breastfeeding mothers (both members and non members of LLL), pregnant or new mums, and those who have been breastfeeding for longer, are all welcome. There's often a suggested topic, such as early days, introducing solids, or feeding an older baby, although it's all quite informal and relaxed. People are invited to raise any questions or things they'd like to talk about relating to breastfeeding ... and the mums present often describe their own experiences, and offer support to each other.
Teas, coffees, biscuits and healthy snacks are there (people sometimes bring a contribution to this, but don't have to). The group's library of books and leaflets about breastfeeding and parenting is on display for you to browse or borrow. Sometimes mums ask to speak to a leader (breastfeeding counsellor) privately to get help with breastfeeding problems. Many mums bring toddlers along too - all children are always welcome although there is less to interest older ones. During the morning mums often move around while taking care of their children's needs. The meeting usually ends between 12 and 1pm.
