La Leche League of Greater St. Louis Toddler, Missouri
Joining in a La Leche League group discussion can help you learn about breastfeeding
from other nursing mothers. In our "virtual group", mothers share helpful hints, and also
the benefits and joys of breastfeeding. Being in touch with La Leche League can give you
the network of support you need.
In the Greater St. Louis Toddler Group, we offer:
- An internet space for mothers to discuss the joys and challenges of nursing toddlers or older children
- A way for mothers of toddlers to get needed support and information
- A lending library with books on breastfeeding, childbirth, parenting and nutrition (available to paid members)
- An on-line community that can be accessed at any time from any place
Meeting Information
Because we are a "virtual" group, questions can be discussed and information accessed 24 hours a day.
Anyone can join this group. Just visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LLLStLToddler/ and click on the join button. Once you have
joined the discussion group, you can introduce yourself, post questions, look at archive discussions for
answers to frequently asked questions, share your experience by posting answer to the questions of others,
and visit links to information just for nursing toddlers, mothers, and those who support them. This group is
