La Leche League
of Lakeland
History

How LLL came to be...

Founded in 1956 by seven women who had learned about successful breastfeeding while nursing their own babies, La Leche League is the only organization with the sole purpose of helping breastfeeding mothers.

The Lakeland group was started in 1975 and has served countless women and babies in our community.

Now 8,000 Leaders and 3,000 local Groups strong in the United States alone, La Leche League Groups meet regularly in communities worldwide to share breastfeeding information and mothering experience.

Each year, an estimated 750,000 American mothers call La Leche League with questions and concerns. Telephone counseling is available 24-hours a day, along with access to an extensive library of breastfeeding literature.

When a woman joins La Leche League, she participates in a mother-to-mother helping network, a priceless resource for breastfeeding and parenting help, support, knowledge, and inspiration.
