Meeting Information

Breastfeeding is a simple and natural process, but you may need support and information on the correct positioning of the baby at 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 reassurring. 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.
