What is La Leche League International?

0

La Leche League philosophy states that breast milk is superior infant food and that it is all a baby needs until he is six months old, which are statements backed up by scientific research. La Leche League International does not turn away mothers who combine breastfeeding and formula. This organization views any amount of breast milk is a viewed as beneficial and positive. Leche League Leaders are accredited volunteer breastfeeding mothers who are authorized to share information from resources approved by the organization. Volunteers use personal breastfeeding experience to help other breastfeeding mothers, and also have resources, such as The Breastfeeding Answer Book, to help answer questions. They are required to refer a mom to IBCLCs for anything outside the “normal course of breastfeeding.” La Leche League meetings focus on mother-to-mother support, where a mom gets her answers from other breastfeeding moms who attend the meeting.
