When my daughter was born 3 years ago, I knew I wanted to breastfeed. I had a cesarean section and we weren’t able to bond or have skin to skin contact for 4 hours. It was a less than pleasant experience that greatly affected my nursing relationship with her. Luckily I had gone to a local LLL meeting before giving birth and I had met the LLL leaders. They were readily available for phone calls, giving me support and advice.
LLL meetings aren’t just about breastfeeding as well. Topics of discussion have been:
- Toddler nutrition
- Tandem nursing
- Positive discipline
- Child-led weaning
I highly recommend pregnant women and new mom’s visit their local LLL meetings. The meetings are free and there’s nothing better than surrounding yourself with knowledgable, like-minded women.

I went to this LLL for over a year with my son. They were very helpful and non-judgemental. I met a lot of great people there and would reccomend to any new moms!!
