Meeting Information
Accredited Leaders 'lead' the meetings to ensure that mothers' questions are answered accurately, using the most up to date research and information available to them through La Leche League's vast bank of resources. We usually follow a format of a 'series' of topics (hence the term 'series meetings'). The topics are loosely arranged under the following headings
- The advantages of breastfeeding
- Baby arrives:the family and the breastfed baby
- The art of breastfeeding and avoiding difficulties
- Weaning and nutrition
Toddler Meetings
Mothers with toddlers have different needs and issues than mothers with newborns or infants. Breastfeeding is already well established, so they rarely need technical information (e.g., positioning, latch, establishing supply), but they do have their own issues (e.g., night weaning, pressure to wean, tantrums) and need a lot of support to continue breastfeeding a toddler in a culture that is not accustomed to this practice.
