Meetings run through a series of 4 general topics and are similar throughout the world. After the meeting we usually have some lunch; if you can bring something along to share all the better!

Library: We have a librarian who can guide you to one of our many books we have on breastfeeding, childbirth, mothering and related topics. Any donations of books from the LLL bibliography would be greatfully received.

Membership: LLL meetings and breastfeeding support are always free. If you would like to support LLL you can become a member of LLL Staffordshire, and you will receive 6 copies of LLLGB's magazine 'Breastfeeding Matters' every year.
