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:
Meeting Times 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. When: 10 a.m. on the 2nd Thursday of the month
Telephone Help Some questions just can't wait! La Leche League Leaders are experienced breastfeeding mothers accredited by La Leche League International to give information, support and important encouragement to mothers who desire to breastfeed their babies. If you have questions between meetings or need a friendly ear, please give us a call! Leader Information Kim
Jula (Bilingual Spanish)
La Leche League Leaders are experienced mothers who have breastfed their own babies and who have been trained and accredited by La Leche League International to help mothers and mother-to-be with all aspects of breastfeeding. They are available by phone whenever you have breastfeeding questions or concerns. The Leaders volunteer their time in helping mothers; they will return your call ASAP as time allows, if they are not immediately available. Please Note: When emailing a Leader, be sure to use a subject line like "LLL" or "Breastfeeding Question" so the Leader knows you're not sending spam!
