What is La Leche League?
La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing support, encouragement, information, and education to women who want to breastfeed.
La Leche League Leaders are experienced breastfeeding mothers,
accredited by La Leche League International. They are familiar with

and are trained to answer questions or concerns you may have about
breastfeeding. Leaders are volunteers who are available for free

What are LLL Series Meetings like?
Our monthly Series Meetings rotate through four general topics:
- Advantages of breastfeeding
- Preparing for baby,childbirth and the new baby at home
- The art of breastfeeding: avoiding and overcoming difficulties
- Nutrition and weaning
All women interested in learning about breastfeeding are welcome
to attend meetings or to call a Leader for breastfeeding help. Whether
you breastfeed your baby six days, six weeks, six months, a year,
or longer, you will find La Leche League meetings supportive and
informative. Babies and children are always welcome at our meetings.
Why join La Leche League?
We encourage you to become a member of La Leche League, although
membership is not required to attend meetings or to receive breastfeeding
help from a Leader. Membership in La Leche League is currently $40
for one year. The membership fee helps to support your local group
and enables La Leche League International to continue its mission
of providing information and encouragement for breastfeeding women
around the world. Without contributions from our members, La Leche
League would be unable to provide this vital mother-to-mother support.
For more membership information and to purchase a membership,
please contact a Leader from your local LLL Group.
