LLL of Ohio

La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing education, information, support, and encouragement to women who choose to breastfeed.

Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn't mean women can do it by instinct alone. Like childbirth, breastfeeding is easier with help. Problems of lactation can usually be avoided with preparation and information. All breastfeeding mothers and all mothers-to-be are welcome to come to our free meetings (nursing children are welcome too!) or to call for further information. La Leche League offers:

  • Mother-to-mother support
  • Monthly meetings
  • Telephone help from accredited Leaders
  • Lending library with books on childbirth, breastfeeding, and related subjects

La Leche League of Toledo and Northwest Ohio

Each Group holds informal monthly meetings/discussions on breastfeeding geared to those in attendance. Groups may also hold periodic toddler, enrichment and couples meetings. Each Group maintains a lending library on breastfeeding and related topics. Groups also have books for sale, including The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. In addition, they have information on and access to breastfeeding aids and products.

La Leche League Leaders are experienced mothers who are accredited by La Leche League International to help mothers and mothers-to-be with all aspects of breastfeeding. La Leche League Leaders are available for phone calls regarding meeting information and whenever you have breastfeeding questions that cannot wait until the next meeting. Leaders can also give information about the nearest geographical LLL Group meeting to your home and/or meeting topics.

Toledo Area La Leche League maintains a telephone Warm Line 419-251-2120, which gives a tape recorded message giving phone numbers of several Leaders available to take calls that day or call any of the Leaders listed below. This phone line is provided by the Mercy Health Partners and by area La Leche League Groups.
