La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to
providing education, information, support, and encouragement to women who want to
breastfeed. If you are a woman interested in breastfeeding, La Leche League welcomes you.
You need not be pregnant or have a family to attend La Leche League meetings. Any woman
who hopes to have children, is a grandmother, or who wishes to find out more about
breastfeeding is welcome. Those of you who are pregnant will find it most helpful to start
the series of meetings before your baby arrives. Nursing babies and small children who
would be unhappy away from their mother are encouraged to come along to meetings with
their mothers.
