What is La Leche League?

La Leche (pronounced "lay-chay") League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization founded in 1956, which is dedicated to providing information, education, support and encouragement for women who choose to breastfeed their children. All mothers and mothers-to-be are welcome to come to our free monthly meetings or to call one of our accredited volunteer Leaders for breastfeeding help. There are many La Leche League Groups which meet in Ohio -- please see the link above for information on a Group near you.

We're more than just mothers who care. La Leche League International is recognized by the World Health Organization and the American Academy of Pediatrics as expert in the field of breastfeeding. Our Health Advisory Council consults on medical problems, evaluates new research, and reviews our publications. Our Center for Breastfeeding Information provides an extensive database and other comprehensive resources to help breastfeeding mothers. In addition to telephone help and monthly meetings, LLL provides mother-to-mother support to women and their families all over the world. Naturally!
