La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing education, information, support, and encouragement to women who want to breastfeed.
LLL of Maine and New Hampshire's annual breastfeeding and parenting conference will be in the Fall of 2012. For more information, visit menhconference.org
All breastfeeding mothers and mothers-to-be interested in breastfeeding are welcome to come to our meetings or call one of our Leaders for breastfeeding help or information. Babies are always welcome at our meetings.
La Leche League Leaders are experienced mothers who have breastfed their own babies and who have been trained and accredited by La Leche League International to help mothers and mothers-to-be with all aspects of breastfeeding. They are available by phone whenever you have breastfeeding questions or concerns.
A continuing series of informal discussion meetings are offered in many Maine communities. Meetings are open to all women interested in breastfeeding.
