LLL Meetings?

in Parenting after a Loss
Do you or have you attended LLL meetings? I'm planning to go tomorrow with DS. I am hoping my boss will let me go regularly since it's just one morning a month. I've been thinking about becoming a LC...

    We've gone, but I was very weirded out by the leader. She was a nice lady who was maybe in her late 30's. She had her 6 year old with her & her 6 year old was standing next to her with the boob in her mouth like it was a straw. 

    Other than that, I found them to be a little disorganized. A very nice group of women, but a little disorganized. I also felt that the leader (who was also an LC) really didn't listen to the questions. At least she didn't answer the ones being asked. LOL

    I did come away with a lot of info though. And I also walked away with more confidence in bfing an older infant & toddler.  

    I hope you enjoy yours though. They really are a wealth of info & the women are truly dedicated to bfing.

    LOL! I've heard stories like this before! I think that is why I'm a little nervous :) I have also heard that some LLL groups aren't very supportive of working moms. We shall see!

    I know everyone has a different experience, but I absolutely love my LLL group.  The leader is also my LC and she is cool.  Our group is really supportive and has a range of parenting styles.  The vibe is that we're just happy to be BF'ing and it doesn't really matter how long you BF or if you supplement...whatever.

    I think the leader can make or break a great group.  Ours is really relaxed.  When no one has a question we just sit and chat about other things.  If it wasn't for LLL I wouldn't have many mommy friends.  I'll probably keep going even after I wean while we wait for #2. 

    Crazy - I always hate being in those situations because I'm afraid no one will believe the crazy story.

    I went w/DD 2 weeks ago and really enjoyed it.  It is run by my Bradley teacher, whom I really like, so that helps.

    I love our LLL too.  The leader really sets the tone of the meetings.  I found ours to be very supportive. 

    She's also my Bradley teacher!  That's fun.  :)
