   What is La Leche League?

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:

• Advantages of Breastfeeding for Mother, Baby and the World
• Preparing for Baby, Birth and Baby's First Weeks
• Avoiding and Overcoming Difficulties
• Nutrition, Weaning and Changes as Baby Grow

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:

• A one-year subscription (six bimonthly issues) to NEW BEGINNINGS, a magazine filled with inspiration, practical hints, the latest breastfeeding information and much more;
• Unlimited use of Group lending libraries;
• Participation in monthly Enrichment Meetings. These warm, informal meetings only for members focus on a variety of topics, usually centered around parenting issues;
• Participation in LLL special events, including local and international conferences, with a special member's discount on registration fees; and
• Most importantly, membership funds not only your local Group, but 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 for your local group.
