For Mothers
LLL Meetings

Attending La Leche 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 the accurate, up-to-date information provided by the accredited Leaders in each group.

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 Grows

Meetings are free and open to all - membership is not required.  Babies and children are always welcome.
