Who Comes to LLL
Meetings?
Pregnant women can learn how to minimize or prevent common breastfeeding concerns
and are encouraged to attend a complete series of meetings before their baby's birth.
Breastfeeding mothers having questions or concerns, as well as those already doing
beautifully, are welcome to share their experiences. No two series are exactly alike,
since we are all growing in our understanding of child development, mothering and
family life. As we share our knowledge of mothering through breastfeeding, we can all
learn and support each other during this important time in our lives and the lives of
our families. Please bring your nursing baby - you'll both be happier! Your toddlers
are also welcome. Involving the baby's father or significant support persons can add
to your breastfeeding success, and they are encouraged to attend as well.
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.
