La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing support, encouragement, information, and education to women who want to breastfeed.
La Leche League began with a wish - a dream really - that all mothers who want to breastfeed their babies would be able to do so. The seven LLL founders had overcome a variety of difficulties before they were able to breastfeed with ease and confidence, and they knew of too many mothers who were unable to breastfeed at all simply because they had no one to turn to for information. All women who have an interest in breastfeeding are invited to attend LLL meetings. Mothers of all ages, races and religions, single mothers, working mothers and mothers whose philosophy on various aspects of infant care and childrearing may differ from LLL's are welcome. Each mother is encouraged to take from the League's philosophy what seems sensible and helpful to her.
Our meetings are informal discussions of breastfeeding related topics held monthly by accredited Leaders. 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, we can all learn and support each other during this important time in the lives of our families.
We offer three monthly meetings to fit your needs. The series meetings (Mission Viejo and Irvine) focus on new mothers and babies. The Toddler meeting focusses on babies nine months and older. All mothers are weLLLcomed at any LLL meeting.
The ideal time to begin attending is during pregnancy - the information received well in advance may prove vital to a mother when her baby arrives. Pregnant women may find it helpful to attend a series of four monthly meetings befor the baby is due and read our manual, The Womenly Art of Breastfeeding, which can be purchased at our meetings.
Because our meetings are attended by pregnant women and newborns, we ask that you avoid bringing contagiously ill children to meetings. If illness prevents you from attending you can still receive support and information by calling a leader on the phone.
Some questions just can't wait! If you have questions between meetings or need a friendly ear, Leaders are experienced nursing mothers accredited by La Leche League International to give information, support, and important encouragement to mothers who desire to breastfeed their babies.
