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.

What to expect at the meeting
LLL meetings are about mother-to-mother support, as well as giving you the opportunity to get help from La Leche League Leaders. We hope that you will enjoy each other’s company and be generous with your ideas, experiences and support. LLL Leaders (trained breastfeeding counsellors) will facilitate discussion and do our best to help with feeding issues.
