La Leche League not only supported me through pregnancy and breastfeeding, but also completely changed the way I see parenting and relationships in general. The ongoing interaction with and support from other Leaders and mothers has built my self-esteem and self-confidence in too many ways to name. From prenatal concerns about birth and getting breastfeeding off to a good start through setting limits and the gentle dance of weaning (not only from the breast, but as they’ve grown through the childhood years) there is always a compassionate ear and a kind voice of encouragement at La Leche League.

LLL means a warm inviting group of women to share my parenting journey. They understood what I needed to make breastfeeding work with my son when we were really struggling. Now that my son is 15 months old I am still getting help from LLL, but I am able to give help as well now and that is a wonderful feeling helping other moms achieve their breastfeeding goals.
