The response to the LLL meetings that I used to lead had a rather large
group with moms only, 14 - 18 moms.  The moms asked us if dads could attend
as well.  With moms, dads, babies, and the three leaders our attendance
topped out at 62!  We advertised the meeting as fathers welcome and there
were 18 other groups in our metropolitan area that were moms only.  We
finally settled with about 35 adults in attendance.  About 1/3 were men.
