La Leche League Great Britain

About

Our volunteer breastfeeding counsellors (Leaders) are the cornerstone of our organisation. They provide up-to-date information and compassionate, non-judgmental support through the whole span of breastfeeding, from pregnancy to weaning. Our in-person breastfeeding support groups have always been the heart of La Leche League. Held in a wide range of locations, our meetings offer safe spaces to receive support with work on breastfeeding issues and connect with others who understand the challenges and joys of ‘mothering through breastfeeding’. Within their local communities, our Leaders also offer flexible one-to-one support via phone and video calls, Zoom meetings, social media chat groups, email, direct messaging, and more. In Tranent, East Lothian, Scottish Government funding enables us to commission a peer support project (via Breastfeeding LENS) which serves as an example of good practice in reaching underserved communities.
