About Us

La Leche League is  an organization founded in 1956 by seven women who wanted to make breastfeeding easier and more rewarding for both mother and child. The organization offers information and encouragement (primarily through personal help) to those who want to breastfeed their babies. 

La Leche League is a nonprofit, non-sectarian organization and is entirely supported by donations, memberships, and sales of materials.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to help mothers and parents worldwide to breastfeed through parent-to-parent support, encouragement, information, and education, and to promote a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important element in the healthy development of the baby and parent.

More Than Breastfeeding

LLL believes that breastfeeding, with its many important physical and psychological advantages, is best for babies and parents and is the ideal way to initiate good parent-child relationships. The loving help and support of a partner enables the nursing parent to focus on the new baby so that together the parents develop close relationships which strengthen the family and, thus, the whole fabric of society.
