What we do
La Leche League (pronounced LA LE CHAY - 'the milk' in Spanish) is an international charitable organisation founded to give information and encouragement, mainly through mother-to-mother support, to all women who want to breastfeed their babies.
Mission Statement
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. If you are a mother or are going to become a mother who wants to breastfeed, whatever situation you find yourself in, we are prepared to support you. We provide research-based information and guidance as well as a warm and caring listening ear.
LLL Leaders
LLL Leaders are mothers themselves who have been internationally accredited to give mother-to-mother breastfeeding support and information. They have breastfed their own children and will listen to your questions, offering practical suggestions and warm support. Our Leaders run Monthly LLL meetings, support mothers one-to-one on the phone, by email or in person. They have the most up-to-date breastfeeding information available and can pass on the wealth of experience of other breastfeeding mothers, to help you find answers and make the decisions that are right for you and your baby.
