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.
