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.
Breastfeeding is a simple and natural process, but you may need support and information on the correct positioning of the baby at the breast, working and breastfeeding, avoiding problems, and overcoming any difficulties that may occur. Knowing other women who have breastfed their babies can be helpful and reassuring. Having accurate, up-to-date information is also important.
Attending La Leche League meetings can help you learn about breastfeeding from other nursing mothers. At these monthly meetings, mothers share not only their questions and concerns but also the benefits and joys of breastfeeding. Being in touch with La Leche League can give you the network of support you need.
Meetings follow a planned schedule of topics that include:
The Advantages of Breastfeeding to Mother and Baby
Baby Arrives, The Family and the Breastfed Baby
The Art of Breastfeeding and Avoiding Difficulties
Nutrition and Weaning
Mothers & Mothers-to-be are encouraged to attend. Children are always welcome.
Space Coast La Leche League meets the first Thursday of every month at the Satellite Beach libary located at 751 Jamaica Ave. Get Directions
Meetings begin at 6:30 pm and end by 8:00 pm.
