La Leche League of Barbados

Our Mission is to help mothers worldwide to breastfeed through mother-to-mother support, encouragement, information, and education, and to promote a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important element in the healthy development of the baby and mother.

LLLI philosophy

LLL Leaders are volunteer breastfeeding counselors, accredited by La Leche League International (LLLI), who have nursed their own babies, and are active in providing breastfeeding support in their communities.

All Leaders bring their unique experience, warmth, empathy, and other skills to their LLL work, whether they have had one baby or several. They are available by phone or e-mail whenever you have breastfeeding questions or concerns.

Meetings are led by an accredited LLL Leader. LLL meetings are all about mother-to-mother/parent-to-parent support, sharing experiences, and getting support. Burning questions are always given priority. We often say you can treat LLL meetings like a buffet – please take what works for you and leave the rest behind.
