La Leche League Meetings

Exciting news! In person La Leche League meetings are starting up again, including both weekday and weekend options! Meetings are a great place to make friends, share experiences, and get breastfeeding support. We hope you can join us!

  • LLL Leaders are volunteer breastfeeding counselors, accredited by La Leche League International (LLLI), who have nursed their own babies, and are active in providing breastfeeding support in their communities.

    All Leaders bring their unique experience, warmth, empathy, and other skills to their LLL work, whether they have had one baby or several. They are available by phone or e-mail whenever you have breastfeeding questions or concerns.

  • Meetings are led by an accredited LLL Leader. LLL meetings are all about mother-to-mother/parent-to-parent support, sharing experiences, and getting support. Burning questions are always given priority. We often say you can treat LLL meetings like a buffet – please take what works for you and leave the rest behind.
