Who We Are
La Leche League is an
international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing
education, information, support, and encouragement to women who want to breastfeed.
We also provide health care professionals with continuing education opportunities
and access to the latest research on lactation management.
Finding Breastfeeding Help
All breastfeeding mothers and pregnant women interested in breastfeeding are welcome to come to our meetings or call our Leaders for breastfeeding help.

LLL Meetings
La Leche League meetings cover many aspects of breastfeeding. As we meet the needs of mothers expecting their first child, and the needs of mothers nursing their babies, we find a wealth of information to share and discuss. Since we are all expanding our knowledge of mothering, child development, and family life, no two series of meetings are exactly alike. Please join us for more than one series.
These are the usual meeting topics at LLL meetings. Titles may vary with some Groups.
- The Advantages of Breastfeeding to Mother and Baby
- The Baby Arrives: The Family and the Breastfed Baby
- The Art of Breastfeeding and Avoiding Difficulties
- Nutrition and Weaning
