La Leche League of Westfield, New Jersey
All pregnant and nursing mothers are encouraged to call a Leader with their questions or concerns and are invited to come to our meetings. Babies are always welcome at our meetings.
Breastfeeding is a simple and natural process, but you may need support and information on the correct positioning of the baby at the breast, working and breastfeeding, avoiding problems, and overcoming any 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 benefits and joys of breastfeeding. Being in touch with La Leche League can give you the network of support you need.
Meeting Information
La Leche League of Westfield meets on the third Thursday of every month at 10:00 AM. Please contact a Leader for meeting location.
