La Leche League of Saginaw, Michigan
All breastfeeding mothers and pregnant women interested in breastfeeding are welcome to come to our free meetings or call a Leader for breastfeeding help. Breastfeeding is a simple and natural process, but you may need support. Our meetings provide information on the correct positioning of the baby at the breast, working and breastfeeding, avoiding problems, and overcoming difficulties that may occur.
Knowing other women who have breastfed their babies can be helpful and reassuring. Having accurate, up-to-date information is also important. Attending La Leche League meetings can help you learn about breastfeeding from other nursing mothers. At these monthly meetings, mothers share not only their questions and concerns, but also the joys and benefits of breastfeeding. Being in touch with La Leche League can give you the network of support you need.
