La Leche League of Redding, California
All women who have an interest in breastfeeding are invited to attend La Leche League Meetings. All mothers and their children are welcome with open arms at meetings. Each mother is encouraged to take from La Leche League philosophy what she feels works for her and her family.
La Leche League of Redding offers:
- Monthly mother-to-mother support meetings
- Lending library
- Free telephone counseling from accredited Leaders
- The latest breastfeeding information
- Over 25 years of helping Shasta County families
Series Meetings:
In order to better serve our community, but at the same time put our families first, we offer a variety of series meetings. No two series are exactly alike, since we are all growing in our understanding of child development, mothering and family life. As we share our knowledge of mothering through breastfeeding, we can all learn and support each other during this important time in our family's lives.
The ideal time to begin attending meetings is during pregnancy, because the information received in advance may prove vital to a mother when her baby arrives. Pregnant women may find it helpful to attend a series of four meetings before the baby is due, and to obtain a copy of THE WOMANLY ART OF BREASTFEEDING.
Because our meetings are attended by newborns, we ask that you avoid bringing contagiously ill children to meetings. If you are unable to attend due to illness, please call or email a Leader with any questions you have.
Meeting Information
LLL of Redding meets on the second Thursday of each month at 10:00 AM at the Breastfeeding Resource Center in the Downtown Redding Mall, 1600 Market Street, across from Sringz Shoe Store.
LLL of Redding is not offering evening meetings or Toddler/Enrichment meetings at this time. If this is something that you are interested in let us know.
