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
