La Leche League is a volunteer organization. Funds to sustain local group efforts are raised through a variety of means, including the sale of memberships in La Leche League International. You need not be a member to attend meetings or receive help. Discussions are informal and mothers are invited to ask questions or share experiences on any topic related to the breastfeeding family. Our Group library, providing books and tapes on pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and parenting, is available after the discussion.
Meetings are open to all women interested in breastfeeding, and nurslings are welcome.
Refreshments are potluck. Toddler Meetings, geared to the interests of those who have chosen to nurse past the first birthday, are held the first Thursday of the month from 11 am to noon at Fitness Express on Bridge Street in Great Barrington. Meetings are canceled if South County schools are closed due to the weather. If the third Monday of the month falls on a holiday, the meeting will be on the fourth Monday. Please feel free to call for directions to the meeting and to address any breastfeeding questions that cannot wait until the next meeting date.
