LLLOxfordshire meetings

 

You can find support any time on our Facebook group and you are also welcome to attend virtual meetings run by other groups. Please see the LLLGB website for a listing of meetings.

Here are some other ways you can get breastfeeding support if you need it.

As always, if you are worried about your baby or yourself, please contact your midwifery or health visiting team, or NHS 111 (or 999 if it's an emergency). 

  • Look on the LLLGB website. It's been greatly expanded in recent years and has up to date, accurate information on many common breastfeeding issues, all written by LLL Leaders. It's much appreciated if you can check to see if you can find what you need online before contacting a Leader.
  • Post your question on our private, women-only Facebook group. This is the most efficient way to ask a specific question, as we can support many mothers with similar issues at the same time, and mothers can support each other. The group is usually checked by Leaders several times a day. If you prefer your question to be posted anonymously, you can This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.or message us via our Facebook page and we will post it in the group on your behalf.
  • Contact a local LLL Leader. This is usually the quickest way to talk to someone 1:1. You might need to call a few people and/or leave a couple of messages before you find someone - most of us also have jobs and some will be much busier than usual during this time. Please keep trying.
  • Call the LLL National Helpline on 0345 120 2918.  Leaders all over the country will be trying hard to increase capacity on the helpline (though it still may be quicker to call a local Leader directly).
  • Use LLLGB's webchat or Helpform services. Log onto the LLLGB website to see if the Chat box pops up.


With much LLLove to you and your families,

Jayne, Hannah, Liz, Nicola, Ruth, Vicki, Meg, Verity-Rose & Catriana
