  Our popular leaflet full of useful tips on getting started with breastfeeding.



• On-line breastfeeding information
  La Leche League's international website contains a wealth of information on breastfeeding and parenting topics. Drawing on the experiences of mothers from around the world and incorporating up-to-date research and professional expertise, you can find reliable answers to many breastfeeding questions - FAST!



• Telephone Helpline
  Contacting a La Leche League Leader by phone gives you ready access to personalised support and information. LLL Leaders are experienced breastfeeding mothers, trained and accredited by LLL, who are happy to help other mothers with questions and concerns about breastfeeding. This one-to-one approach is one of the most effective - and friendly! - ways of getting the support you need.



• On-line Helpform
  Contact an LLL Leader via the Helpform, for a personalised answer to your questions by email. It may take a little longer to get an answer, but the Helpform can be accessed at any time day or night to suit you.



• Mother-to-mother support groups and online forums
  Accurate information is important in getting breastfeeding off to a good start, but LLL has found that mother-to-mother support is actually as important (if not more so) in helping you fully achieve the breastfeeding relationship you want. Visit a local group to talk with a Leader, borrow books from the library and receive support from a group of mothers who are as interested in breastfeeding as you are. Or ask questions and share experiences with Leaders and other mums on LLLI's online forums.

"La Leche League was incredibly helpful - I spoke to the local Leader several times on the telephone. I went on to feed S for 18 months"

It took me until I was pregnant with my sixth baby to discover La Leche League (no, I didn't know how to pronounce it then either!) I went along to a local group meeting and at last, here were people, who knew what they were talking about, who understood my desperate need to breastfeed the baby I was carrying. This time I succeeded and then went on to breastfeed baby number seven too"
Doris

"I am a lone mum of two. I breastfed my daughter, now four years old, for three weeks, giving up after a difficult pregnancy and delivery and a lack of support. I breastfed my son until two months ago when he was 13 months old. I thoroughly enjoyed it"
