LLL of Washington

La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing education, information, support, and encouragement to women who want to breastfeed.

Membership in La Leche League International is $40 for one year. Membership fees help to support your local Everett A.M. Group and the International organization. The benefits of membership include a one-year subscription to LLL's very own NEW BEGINNINGS magazine. This magazine is filled with stories from breastfeeding mothers, and fathers, and contains all the latest breastfeeding information. With your membership you also gain access to the Group lending libraries.

When a woman joins La Leche League, she participates in a mother-to-mother helping network -- a priceless resource for breastfeeding and parenting help, support, knowledge, and inspiration.
