I am a family doctor in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Jumping into the discussion regarding pre and postnatal exposure to community breastfeeding groups -- I recommend to all my prenatal patients an LLL meeting before delivery. My personal feeling is that mothers who first attend once their own baby has arrived are so overwhelmed with everything else that's happening, especially with their own baby, that it becomes a technical experience, and a lot of the emotional support thats available is missed. A prospective mother (I feel) can see everything that's happening a little better than one who has 110% of her attention focussed on her own newborn. I also recommend attending postpartum, but I do feel that at least one prenatal exposure to this supportive environment can be very helpful.
