It was really cool to talk with the other mums about their bf'ing journey and I learnt a lot from the meetings.

There is always something for everyone; we talk about more than just newborn nursing, our group covers everything from pregnancy to weaning and solids and beyond. You should go!

I would love to help other moms for sure! I going to look into going for sure!

I went when DS was small even tho we weren't having troubles breastfeeding and still go now. It's a mom support group, and often the conversation strays from Breastfeeding to weaning, solids, sleep, and anything else you can think of! Also, if you LO is 7.5 months, I'm sure you will have valuable experience to share with new moms. I love that now that DS is older, I can go to the meetings to help other moms and share our experiences. It's nice to give back and contribute. Before I used to go to get advice!

I think my local one has 2 meetings a month. I may email their info email and see what each class discusses!!

And definitely not everyone is there for advice so much as support and company. I wish I could go more but it's tough with a toddler in tow and it pushes up against her nap. I think you should check it out! rattles on "Are LLL meetings just for learning to breastfeed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-lll-meetings-just-for-learning-to-breastfeed#post-2435397 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 18:30:11 +0000 rattles 2435397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My local chapter had two meetings a month. One was for breastfeeding support and one was a "parent enrichment" meeting. I went to both even as my kiddo got older. Give it a try! The stakes are low, and if it isn't a fit, at least you know! birdofafeather on "Are LLL meetings just for learning to breastfeed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-lll-meetings-just-for-learning-to-breastfeed#post-2435388 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 18:17:13 +0000 birdofafeather 2435388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i went pre-baby but it definitely seemed like a mama support group in general. lots of the moms knew each other and were there to hang out as well as get BFing help/support. not just learning to BF, but the logistics, changes in BFing as kiddos got older, etc. MrsBrewer on "Are LLL meetings just for learning to breastfeed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-lll-meetings-just-for-learning-to-breastfeed#post-2435382 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 18:08:55 +0000 MrsBrewer 2435382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've been wanting to go to those meetings, but my LO is 7.5 months old and doing great breast feeding. Would it be silly for me to go? I've never gone before, but would love to hang out with other moms!
