What is La Leche League?
La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing support,
encouragement, information, and education to women who want to breastfeed. All women interested in breastfeeding
are encouraged to attend Group meetings or to call a Leader for breastfeeding help. We also provide health care
providers with continuing education opportunities.
Do You Need Immediate Breastfeeding Assistance?
Please try to contact a La Leche League Leader near you. You may also call our HELPLLLINE at (860) 563-6624
or email help(@)LLLct.org for 24-hour assistance. Be aware that email is not always checked immediately,
so calling is the best choice if you have a question or concern that cannot wait a few hours.
