During my years as an LLLLeader, I've led many toddler meetings - including
TWO concurrent toddler SERIES (for those not in La Leche League a series is
4 monthly meetings that generally follow the broad subjects of: Benefits of
breastfeeding, Breastfeeding during 1st 6 weeks, Continuing to breastfeed,
then Nutrition/Weaning/etc...)  

We followed the same themes = Benefits of breastfeeding toddlers,
Breastfeeding after 12 months, Breastfeeding after 2 years of after a new
baby comes, and nutrition and weaning.

What was fascinating was the differences in the two groups - one a daytime
and one an evening group.  The evening group was mostly working moms who,
despite their breastfeeding toddlers, felt much more negative about it than
the daytime group.

Listening, listening, listening was the key...then providing accurate
information for them to make decisions.
