La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing education, information, support, and encouragement to women who want to breastfeed.
La Leche League offers expectant and breastfeeding
mothers:
Our volunteer services are free and membership is not a requirement. However, if you attend on a regular basis and would like to support LLL and breastfeeding in your community we have memberships available. A $40 annual membership gives you unlimited access to our informative Group resource library and a subscription to our bimonthly international journal NEW BEGINNINGS. Our magazine is a great resource filled with warm, personal stories from breastfeeding families around the world, along with up-to-date research, and much more.

"Come to an LLL meeting before baby arrives to explore breastfeeding without pressure.
Return after baby arrives to find information, guidance and support through all
stages of your breastfeeding experience."All interested women are encouraged to attend our La Leche League meetings. Mothers-to-be, breastfeeding mothers of infants or toddlers, and even curious grandmothers and female health professionals - all will find helpful information and support. Healthy infants and toddlers are also welcome at our meetings.
Discussions topics include, but are not limited to: the importance of human milk to baby and mother, preparing for baby's arrival, adjusting to motherhood and self-care, family dynamics, the normal course of breastfeeding, solving common breastfeeding problems, baby's changing needs, as well as guidance on starting solids, weaning and family nutrition. Participants are encouraged to bring up any other questions of concern to them.
