In The Netherlands we have 2 M2M organizations LLL and ''Borstvoeding Natuurlijk'' (Breastfeeding natural(ly) ), both about in their 30's by now.Dutch LLLleadership hovers around 60-70 for years now. We do not have members, but donors (200-300 I guess), who receive the 5 times a year ''Borstvoeding Vandaag'' (Breastfeeding Today'' (yes, we kind of picked that one from LLL France's Allaiter Aujourdhui). LLLgroups charge some for coffee and refreshments and to pay the groups dues to LLLI, some a bit more and include a brochure. Most charge between 2,50 and 5 Euro ($1 is about 60 Euro cents, I think)
Borstvoeding Natuurlijk is not my organisation, but perhaps Marianne or Heleen can fill in here.
Other breastfeeding organizations do not provide M2M help.
Warmly,
Gonneke, IBCLC, LLLL in southern Netherlands

And if you are
wondering about the cost -- I have never, ever heard of a breastfeeding
group which charges!!! If you come across a place that is charging for
social support, let us in the UK know and we will shame them out of the
country. Oh- sorry, I know most on this list don't get humour, so I will
say more seriously, there might be groups which charge for a cup of tea or
something, but I have never heard of one charging for membership (we are
still living and breathing a way of life which believes and relies on health
care which is free at the point of need, although this is sloooowly
eroding).
Hope this is what you were looking for.
