These meetings would best suit mothers who are breastfeeding beyond babyhood. La Leche meetings are great places to meet mothers who are breastfeeding in your local community, so please go ahead and register if you would like to come, whether or not you have a current feeding problem. 

We usually keep our meetings as a space for those who are pregnant, have given birth, or are breastfeeding. However, if an attendee needs support (e.g. physical help, language interpretation, emotional support) from someone else to enable them to come, then we will do all we can to make that work, taking into account the needs of others in the room. 

Partners are always very welcome at our virtual antenatal sessions: bit.ly/llloxonantenatal
