Frequently Asked Questions
What happens at LLL Series Meetings?
What information is discussed at Series Meetings?
There are four general topics that Leaders rotate through at meetings:
- Benefits of Breastfeeding
- Bringing Baby Home
- Avoiding Difficulties
- Nutrition and Weaning
Sometimes a Leader may cover the topic in a general fashion, and sometimes a Leader may cover a specific topic within that general topic. Enrichment meetings may cover a wider variety of topics and do not generally follow the four general topics.
