Introduction to Breastfeeding Basics

Thinking ahead to breastfeeding? La Leche League is all about that. Sandra and Monique are Leaders with La Leche League Canada and they will walk you through the three most important things you need to know about breastfeeding your precious newborn. La Leche League is an international nonprofit organization and has volunteer Leaders all over the Lower Mainland, BC, Canada and the world. Every leader has breast fed her own child for at least a year and has received extensive training in helping other mothers to meet their own breastfeeding goals with information, encouragement and support. Leader facilitated get-togethers are held once or twice a month in most communities. These meetings are relaxed, fun, and encourage mother-to-mother connection so you can learn and share at your own pace. Leaders are also available for telephone counselling if you can’t get to a meeting. See the web site for a group and Leader near you.
