La Leche League of Tompkins County, New York
All breastfeeding mothers and mothers-to-be interested in breastfeeding are invited to come to our meetings or call one of our Leaders for breastfeeding help or information. Pregnant women are especially welcome. Even one meeting before your baby is born can provide a solid start toward happy breastfeeding. Children and babies are always welcome at our meetings.
Meeting Information
At monthly meetings we discuss such topics as the positioning of the baby for nursing, working and breastfeeding, avoiding and overcoming problems, helping the "fussy" baby, and how weaning happens. You can get assistance and encouragement in a relaxed atmosphere.
We hold an annual World Walk for Breastfeeding to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week. Contact a Leader for more information.
Leader Information
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.
