La Leche League

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.

Membership in La Leche League International is $40 for one year. Membership fees help to support your local Group and the international organization. Membership benefits include a one year subscription to NEW BEGINNINGS magazine and use of our lending libary of breastfeeding, childbirth and parenting books. Members also receive access to low cost group life insurance, and discounts on the annual Area Conference of Northern California and Hawaii.

La Leche League Memberships make great gifts. Consider giving the gift of a one year membership to someone you know who could benefit from the mother-to-mother support and up to date breastfeeding information that La Leche League provides.
