Meetings 2014
At the moment we aren't holding meetings due to work obligations. As soon as meetings are back on we will have dates here, on our Facebook group and they will be emailed.
Meetings are held monthly from 10 - 11.45. The series meetings and coffee mornings are held on Tuesdays and as they are held in people's homes, you'll need to email me for the address. The playgroups at the Tumble Tent are held on Thursdays.
LLL believes that mothers know their own babies best. We want you to feel free to express your own ideas and experiences and to take from meetings the ideas that work for you and your family.
These informal meetings are open to all pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. Children are always welcome at LLL meetings. There is no requirement to come to every meeting and you are welcome to keep coming to meetings for as many months (or years!) as you wish.
LLL meetings are like a conversation among friends. Different ideas suit different mothers and their families. Your contribution may help another mother with a problem she is having, or may give her much-needed encouragement! If you hear an idea that doesn't suit you, leave it behind, and take away those ideas and suggestions that 'fit' with you and you family.
Our meetings are designed to follow the needs of your baby as s/he grows. A four-meeting series will focus on anything from the advantages of breastfeeding a baby or toddler (new research comes out all the time!) to gentle discipline. Meetings are tailored to the needs of the mothers attending, and are fun, interactive discussions! For this reason, meeting titles are provisional.
The essential message of LLL is Mother-to-Mother support for breastfeeding. While LLL Leaders are trained to provide breastfeeding information, mothers who attend meetings fulfill the vital role of supporting each other in their mothering, and giving each other tips on what 'worked' for them.
Never leave a meeting with a question unanswered, even if it’s not ‘on topic’! Or, you can always call you local Leader between meetings.
