La Leche League of Oak Harbor, Washington

Whether you're pregnant and considering breastfeeding or you are already breastfeeding your baby, you probably have many questions: What are the health benefits of breastfeeding? Is it possible to return to work? Can you still lead an active life? How often will the baby want to nurse? Most of your questions are practical ones, best answered by other breastfeeding mothers. And that's exactly what La Leche League can provide.

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. Babies are always welcome at our meetings.

Meeting Information

LLL of Oak Harbor meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at Oak Harbor Lutheran Church, NW 2nd and Heller Road.

Topics covered during the series of meetings include the advantages of breastfeeding, preparing for the baby to come home, the art of breastfeeding and avoiding difficulties, starting solids, weaning and family nutrition, and all of your personal questions or concerns.

Leader Information

La Leche League Leaders are experienced mothers who have breastfed their own babies and who have been trained and accredited by La Leche League International to help mothers and mothers-to-be with all aspects of breastfeeding. They are available by phone whenever you have breastfeeding questions or concerns.
