La Leche League of Long Beach, California


La Leche League

An international, non-profit, non-sectarian organization dedicated to mothering through breastfeeding.


Babies, Toddlers, and Children are always welcome at meetings.


La Leche League meetings offer encouragement and support, as well as practical breastfeeding information to nursing mothers and pregnant women planning to breastfeed. Our meetings are informal discussions of breastfeeding related topics facilitated by trained, accredited, La Leche League Leaders.

Each mother is encouraged to take from La Leche League's philosophy what seems sensible and helpful to her.

All women who have an interest in breastfeeding are invited to begin a meeting series at any time. The ideal time to begin attending is during pregnancy because the information received at that time may benefit a mother when her baby is born, and to obtain a copy of our manual, THE WOMANLY ART OF BREASTFEEDING


The series of meetings follows the course of breastfeeding:

#1 Advantages of Breastfeeding

#2 The Baby Arrives - The Family and the Breastfed Baby

#3 The Art of Breastfeeding and Overcoming Difficulties

#4 Nutrition and Weaning


If you would like meeting dates and times, or if you would like to contact a local Leader, please call our recorded information line:
