LLL East Cambridgeshire - La Leche League

09/11/2026

Not too late to sign up for tomorrow’s zoom meeting. We won’t just be talking about solids - you can come to discuss anything breastfeeding related, whether you are breastfeeding, combi feeding or pumping. We can also support you with positioning and getting a comfortable latch. We are always focussed on how a latch feels for you, not how it looks. Sometimes some small adjustments can make all the difference.

✨Breastfeeding support in Soham✨

Our next LLL East Cambs group will be on Tuesday 10th November 10.30am-12pm. This meeting will be online, so please fill out our sign-in form below to receive the meeting link.

Join LLL Leader (breastfeeding counsellor) Emma for some breastfeeding chat, up-to-date information and support and meet some others who are breastfeeding. Our topic this time is Breastfeeding and Starting Solids. Maybe the 6 month stage is approaching and you’re wondering how breastfeeding and solids work alongside each other, maybe baby has only recently arrived but you want to hear about other mothers experiences of solid food in advance, or maybe your little one is 10months and still has no interest in solids! Whatever you want to talk about around breastfeeding (whether it’s related to our topic or not), we are here for you! If you need one to one support to get a more comfortable latch, we can talk through that too.

Bring a snack and a hot drink and have a nice chat with others who are breastfeeding or expressing.

Here’s our schedule for November and December. Our next meeting will be online on Tues 10th Nov due to venue challenges, but we hope some of those of you who have gone back to work might be able to join us. We will be back at Soham Scout and Guide Community Centre for our 2nd meeting of the month and then hopefully back to Soham library meeting room for our December meeting.

We have suggested topics of Breastfeeding and Starting Solids, Breastfeeding and Sleep, and Breastfeeding and Festivities at these meetings but you can still come along to chat about anything breastfeeding related at any meeting and we are always able to offer one to one support as well as the group chat if needed.

As always, you can contact us for support between meetings by sending us a message on here or find our details on our website! Or you can join our new WhatsApp group to stay connected to our community. Let us know if you want to join.

✨Did you know we now have an LLL East Cambs WhatsApp group for support outside of meetings?✨

🙋‍♀️ If you are an LLL member, have attended one of our meetings before, or have been supported by one of us between meetings then please let us know if you would like to join the WhatsApp group.

This group enables members to chat about their breastfeeding challenges, triumphs, and questions. Our LLL Leaders can also offer support and up to date breastfeeding information. We would love you to join and be part of our community. Send us a message on here or via the contact details on our website to join.

📢 Or if you just want to be notified about meeting dates, we also have an announcements-only group. See link in the comments.

Don’t forget you can also contact us directly for breastfeeding support any time and one of our LLL Leaders (volunteer breastfeeding counsellors) will get back to you as soon as they can.

We welcomed 3 lovely families to our breastfeeding support meeting last week with children’s ages ranging from 2 weeks to 1 year. We drank plenty of tea/coffee, ate lots of homemade oaty traybake and chatted about what was going on for everyone with breastfeeding.

This time we had discussions around fussy stages. We talked about newborns cluster feeding in the evenings, how distracted they can get by everything at 4 months and we talked about going back to work. We also talked about different ways to feed baby when things have got off to a difficult start and about different breastfeeding positions. It can be really helpful to hear from other mums who have been through the stage you are at and what things worked for them. We can also offer you a listening ear, evidence based information and connection with others who understand. See the comments for links to some of the topics we discussed.

✨Breastfeeding support in Soham✨

Our next LLL East Cambs group will be on Thursday 22nd October 10am-12pm. This week we will meet at Soham Scout and Guide Community Centre again as our usual venue is having some refurbishments.

Join LLL Leaders (breastfeeding counsellors) Caitriona and Emma for some breastfeeding chat, up to date information and support and meet some others who are breastfeeding. Our topic this time is Fussy Stages and Breastfeeding. Maybe you are in the early days of feeding and you’re wondering if baby cluster feeding all evening is normal or wondering why baby is so distracted by everything at 4 months that feeding has become challenging again, just when you thought it was all going smoothly! Maybe it is all going well for you at the moment but you can come and share your experiences with other mums. Whatever you want to talk about around breastfeeding (whether it’s related to our topic or not), we are here for you! If you need one to one support to get a more comfortable latch, we can sit and talk through that too.

Come and have a snack and a hot drink with us while the little ones play.

➡️ We’d love to see you, please sign up here in advance if you can but don’t let it stop you from coming if you haven’t https://www.llleastcambs.org.uk/meetings/sign-in-form-for-meetings

You can still come to the meeting to chat about anything breastfeeding related though and we are always able to offer one to one support if needed.

We are hoping to be back at the library for our November meetings, but sign up to the meeting in advance so we can let you know if anything changes.

As always, you can contact us for support between meetings by sending us a message on here or find our details on our website! Or you can join our new WhatsApp group to stay connected to our community. Let us know if you want to join.

We welcomed 4 lovely families to our breastfeeding support meeting last week with children’s ages ranging from 10 months to 2 years. We drank plenty of tea/coffee, ate lots of homemade oaty traybake and chatted about what was going on for everyone with breastfeeding.

This time we had discussions around nursing manners and things we can do when baby is ‘twiddling’, sleep, gentle weaning and going back to work. It can be really helpful to hear from other mums who have been through the stage you are at and what things worked for them. We can also offer you a listening ear, evidence based information and connection with others who understand. See the comments for links to some of the topics we discussed.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday 22nd October and we will be back at Soham Scout and Guide Community Centre 10am - 12noon. We would love to see you there!
