We love sharing real images of breastfeeding, mothering and parenting - babies of all ages and stages - reflecting the lived reality of families’ experiences.

Do you have a photo you’d be happy for us to use? We’ll credit you however you prefer.

If so, please email photos@laleche.org.uk and we’ll be in touch to agree how you’d like your image used.

Thank you!

Have we given you a helping hand? Can you help us support more breastfeeding families?

The knowledge, information and support we give is free, but reaching the families we support costs us money.

Lack of support is one of the main reasons many mothers stop breastfeeding before they want to. We’ll use your money to support mothers, parents and babies and help them meet their breastfeeding goals.
