La Leche League |
La Leche League – Hong Kong is part of La Leche League International, a nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing support, encouragement and information, to women who want to breastfeed. All women interested in breastfeeding are invited to attend our monthly meetings or call an accredited leader for help. |

La Leche League was founded to give information and encouragement, mainly through personal help, to all mothers who want to breastfeed their babies. While complementing the health care professionals, it recognizes the unique importance of one mother helping another to perceive the needs of her child and to learn the best means of fulfilling those needs. LLL believes that breastfeeding, with its many important physical and psychological advantages, is best for both the baby and mother and is the ideal way to initiate good parent-child relationships. Breastfeeding though a natural process does not always come naturally. Most questions mothers have about breastfeeding are practical ones best answered by other nursing mothers. La Leche League Leaders are volunteers who have nursed their own babies, have undertaken a required training in breastfeeding management, communication and leadership skills and have satisfied La Leche League International that their views and attitudes to mothering are in accordance with La Leche League policy . La Leche League Leaders are not professionals but they are experts with not only their own experience to call on but also that of thousands of other breastfeeding mothers. |
