La Leche League is an apolitical, non-denominational, and non-governmental, world-wide non-profit organization which has been offering breastfeeding information and support to breastfeeding women and their families for over 60 years. All LLL Leaders work voluntarily.
The information that you receive from an LLL Leader is based on the current state of research to the best of our knowledge. Our mother-to-mother consultations cannot, however, replace a medical diagnosis and therapy. If you have medical questions or emergencies contact a medical professional (doctor, lactation consultant IBCLC).
