Leaders accredited by La Leche League International are available around the
world to help mothers who wish to breastfeed their babies.
First,
try the Index of La Leche League Groups,
which will link you to an LLL Group with a Web page near you, if there
is one. There are now more than 600 pages linked to this index, many
of which cover multiple LLL Groups. All 50 US states and many other
countries have information on the Web now. Any
Leader listed on a Group Web page of a state within the US will have
a directory of Leaders in her state, so she will be able to help you
find a local Group or Leader.
Look
in your local telephone directory. Many La Leche League Groups
have listings in the white or yellow pages. Some are also listed in
the free "blue" pages for nonprofit organizations, as well.
If there is no listing under "La Leche League," look
under headings labeled "breastfeeding" or "lactation."
In some places La Leche League will be listed under "community
resources" or "women's health."
Call
your pediatrician or health clinic. Health care providers often
have a file of La Leche League Leader names. Your local library
may also have a listing.
If there is no Group near you in our Group Web listings and you can't find
the information locally, pick up your telephone and dial 1-800-LALECHE
(US) or (847) 519-7730. The second number provides access to
an automated system for finding LLL Leaders in the US by entering a
local zip code. In Canada, telephone 1-800-665-4324, or (514) LA-LECHE
for a French-speaking Leader.
