What to Expect
What happens at LLL meetings?
LLL meetings are all about parent to parent support. Meetings are led by an accredited LLL Leader. Although some meetings have a planned topic, burning questions are always given priority. Support will be given to anyone experiencing pain while nursing, or having difficulties with positioning, latch/attachment etc. Please never leave an LLL meeting with unanswered questions!
You may hear a whole range of ideas and experiences on breastfeeding, chestfeeding and human milk feeding. There is no right way to look after your baby, and definitely not a preferred ‘LLL way’ to breastfeed or parent your child – we believe that you are the expert of your own child!
At LLL, your baby’s needs come first – please feel free to do whatever you need to in order to take care of your baby. We are very used to babies crying and toddlers needing to roam around. Bringing a toy or activity for your older children is fine.
You are welcome to nurse your baby in our meetings! You also might see someone expressing milk or using a bottle, and you might see toddlers being breastfed – all are welcome.
