The benefits of membership vary from Group to Group. Ask your LLL Leader how to receive a free electronic copy of New Beginnings.
La Leche League of Lenexa/Shawnee, Kansas
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.
Nursing babies and older siblings are always welcome at our meetings, and we understand that children have a lot of energy and enthusiasm. To keep the noise level down and to keep everyone safe, we ask that all children use "walking feet" and "inside voices" while being closely supervised by their mothers during our meetings. Because of the nature of our discussion, please decide if your child(ren) would be happier at home with a loving caregiver.
Meeting Information
LLL of Lenexa/Shawnee meets at 7:00 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month. For meeting location, please contact Susan at 816-916-4313.
