LLLI is an international support group for breastfeeding mothers. Most likely, LLLI has at least one group in your community that meets monthly. You may find them by referral, telephone book, or through their web site. Individual LLLI groups reflect the personality of the leader and the members of that group. You may want to visit a few groups to find the one that suits you best.

“LLL leaders” who receive extensive training through La Leche League International specialize in the normal course of breastfeeding, and in overcoming the range of normal problems. LLLI leaders provide mother–to–mother support at Monthly Series Meetings, discussing topics that are central to breastfeeding and to parenting the breastfed baby. They are also available for phone consultation about breastfeeding. Your LLL leader should be able to tell you when your difficulties require the attention of an IBCLC. http://www.lllusa.org
