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. The benefits of membership include a one-year subscription to NEW BEGINNINGS magazine.
Our primary concern is that you have a successful breastfeeding experience, so feel free to contact a local Leader or attend a meeting regardless of your membership status.
La Leche League of Monterey Peninsula, California
All breastfeeding mothers and mothers-to-be interested in breastfeeding are welcome to come to our meetings or call one of our Leaders for breastfeeding help or information. Children and babies are always welcome at our meetings.
Meeting Information
Monthly meetings are ongoing. All women are welcome. We do suggest that you call to confirm the meeting date before attending, as occasionally meetings must be rescheduled.
Monthly topics are a series of subjects discussed on a rotating basis throughout the year. Each meeting, however, always covers the individual questions and needs of women attending, regardless of the specific topic.
Available at each meeting is an excellent library containing books on breastfeeding, pregnancy, birth, nutrition, and parenting. Our manual, The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, recently revised, is available to borrow or purchase.
Meeting Information
LLL of Monterey Peninsula meets the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM (gathering time 6:45 PM) at Parents' Place, 1025 Lighthouse Avenue, in Pacific Grove.
