True they have the cuddle feed, the snack feed, the thirsty feed, the hungry feed, the I am overwhelmed feed, I need to sleep feed….. they are all different.
As long as they are feeding effectively and growing well you can relax.

It is. Seriously. Just ignore it.

Breastfeeding at last! “Baby Y did not latch on and feed from the breast until he was four months old. I so desperately wanted to breastfeed – but it seemed less and less likely as time passed. I would never have believed such a late start to breastfeeding was possible. But I successfully breastfed him until he was nearly three years old. The beautiful memories of breastfeeding Y will stay with me as some of the most precious of my life”. (A, East London)

We are pleased to share our upcoming meeting schedule for JULY 2025. Whether you’re a new face or a familiar one, we warmly welcome you to join us.

Our meetings are lovingly guided by our dedicated LLL Leaders, who are experienced and qualified breastfeeding counsellors. These gatherings are more than just meetings—they're a space where you can find support, ask questions, and share your experiences in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Whether you’re joining us for a face-to-face session, an online discussion, a coffee morning, or a topic-focused gathering, there’s always time to discuss what’s on your mind. And remember, you don’t need to have specific concerns to be part of our community—sometimes, just being there is enough.

We embrace all who are breastfeeding, feeding their baby human milk, or planning to do so. Our meetings are a safe haven for you to connect, learn, and grow alongside others on the same journey. While children are welcome, our focus is on parent support, so if you have older little ones, feel free to bring along something to keep them entertained.

We’d love to see you at one of our upcoming meetings. To stay in the loop, join our local Facebook groups where you can receive invites, ask questions anytime, or reach out for one-to-one support from a Leader.

Even in very hot weather your exclusively breastfed baby doesn’t need additional water, but they will probably want to breastfeed more. It's good to offer!
