LLL of Northern California & Hawaii
La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing education, information, support, and encouragement to women who want to breastfeed. La Leche League began in 1956 when one mother who had successfully breastfed her baby helped another who wanted to nurse. "Mother-to-mother" is still our basic approach. We know that most of the questions mothers have about breastfeeding are practical ones, best answered by other nursing mothers. So, if you have questions, need help with a breastfeeding problem, or just need a little encouragement, please don't hesitate to call.
Membership in La Leche League International is $40 for one year. Membership fees help to support your local Group and the international organization. The benefits of membership include a one-year subscription to NEW BEGINNINGS magazine.
