La Leche League International has launched a brand new message board, the LLL Mother-to-Mother Forums.
As the name implies, forums will give mothers (and fathers, mothers-to-be and interested others) a safe place to talk about
breastfeeding/parenting issues amongst themselves. Just as in meetings, Leaders will be there to facilitate as well as moderate
the conversation as deemed necessary, while being mindful not to lecture or dominate the conversation.
Our hope is that mothers will gain exposure to La Leche League philosophy in an environment that they can feel comfortable
in and will turn to their local La Leche League Leader(s) when they need support. (And we have put information on how to find
your local LLL Leader at the top of every topic listing.)
We hope you'll join us at http://www.lalecheleague.org/vbulletin
and take a look around the software. We have been very impressed at how thorough the Leaders working
on this project have been to provide an LLL atmosphere and a great deal of LLL information without stifling mother-to-mother
conversation.
Feel free to register as LLLsoandso or as your online persona to see for yourself. If you use LLL in your
name, please send a private message to LLLSueAnn or LLL_Jolie and let us know who you are! To send a private message, go to
user cp --> send private message (left hand side of screen). Note that users who register as "LLL" and who do not let us
know who they are will be removed (to prevent users from registering as "LLL" who do not represent LLL).
If you have a suggestion or a question about the bulletin board, feel free to post it in the suggestions forum near the
bottom of the page. We appreciate your input, and will reply as soon as possible.
Thank you! And we hope to see you on the La Leche League Mother-to-Mother Forums!
