La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing education, information, support, and encouragement to women who want to breastfeed.
Breastfeeding is a natural process, but you may need support and information to help avoid problems and overcome challenges. Attending La Leche League meetings can help you learn about breastfeeding from other nursing mothers. At these monthly meetings, mothers share not only their questions and concerns but also the benefits and joys of breastfeeding. The LLLI Group can provide the network of support you need.
Membership in La Leche League International is $40 for one year. Membership fees help to support your local Group and the international organization. The benefits of membership include a one-year subscription to NEW BEGINNINGS magazine; access to Groups' Lending Library full of informative books on breastfeeding, childbirth, parenting and other issues; Enrichment meetings that go beyond the basics of breastfeeding and expand upon the LLLI philosophy; credit card and health insurance; and a discount on items purchased from LLLI.
