Support for Transgender & Non-binary Parents

LLLGB offers free breastfeeding support and information for anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, making milk, or feeding a baby with expressed breastmilk.

We recognise that not everyone who breastfeeds is a mother or uses the term “breastfeeding”. Our focus is on helping you feed and nurture your baby in a way that works for you both.

How we can support you

LLL Leaders are trained breastfeeding counsellors who offer:

  • practical information about feeding, milk supply, and caring for your baby
  • one-to-one support in a range of formats
  • group meetings, in person or online, for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding or chestfeeding, or making milk for a baby.

We aim to provide respectful, non-judgemental support centred on your baby’s needs. Read more about our support meetings. 

Feeding your baby

Some transgender and non-binary parents breastfeed, chestfeed, or nurse their babies. Others provide expressed milk or use a combination of feeding methods.

Every situation is different, and we can help you think through your options to find approaches that work for you and your baby.

Language

We use “breastfeeding” throughout our information, and may also use terms such as “nursing” or “chestfeeding”. We will always respect the language you prefer.
