LLL of Fort Myers La Leche League Groups of Fort Myers La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing education, information, support, and encouragement to women who want to breastfeed. All the breastfeeding information presented by Leaders has been approved by La Leche League International's Advisory Board of Physicians and Professionals, recognized as experts in their fields. It is important to know that breastfeeding is a learned art and, like childbirth, is much better with preparation, knowledge and encouragement. Our meetings are informal discussions led monthly by women who have happily and successfully breastfed their own children and have subsequently been accredited by La Leche League International. The Meetings are open to any women interested in the art of breastfeeding.
All children are welcome.
We have many books about breastfeeding, parenting, childbirth and nutrition in our library for loan. Bring a healthy snack to share if you would like. Pregnant women are encouraged to attend meetings before the baby arrives and to obtain a copy of our manual, The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. The manual explores in depth the four topics covered in our meetings. Use the e-mail contact below for directions to the meeting location in San Carlos.
