What is La Leche League?
La Leche League is an international, non-profit, non-sectarian organization dedicated to providing education,
information, mother-to-mother support, and encouragement to women who want to breastfeed.
Accredited by La Leche League International, volunteer Leaders are experienced breastfeeding mothers who are familiar
with research and current findings dealing with all aspects of nursing. We offer practical information and support to
nursing mothers through telephone help, monthly meetings, and lending libraries of books on childbirth, breastfeeding,
and related parenting topics. All women interested in breastfeeding are welcome to attend meetings or call Leaders for
breastfeeding help.
La Leche League Leaders have been supporting women and their breastfeeding choices since 1956 and have spread from
seven women serving their community to an international organization serving 65 countries. With 45 Groups and 118
accredited La Leche League Leaders active in the state of Georgia, your local La Leche League Series Meeting may be just
around the corner.
What are LLL Series Meetings Like?
Attending La Leche League Series 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.
Knowing other women who have breastfed their babies can be helpful and reassuring. It is also important to have
accurate, up-to-date information.
Discussion topics include:
Babies and children are always welcome.
Why become a member?
Meeting attendance is not limited to members, but membership in our organization has many advantages. Membership in
La Leche League is currently $40 annually. Benefits of membership include:
For more membership information and to purchase a membership, please contact a Leader for your
local group.
