Testimony: “My son had a severe lip and tongue tie during his first 3 months. Pediatricians and hospital lactation consultants told me he was a ‘rough eater.’ I finally saw a pediatric dentist and we had it revised. The first time he really latched after the revision, I cried. Many late nights, both of us exhausted, fighting to feed. What I imagined as a bonding experience became the hardest part of being a new mom. I’m so grateful we could continue breastfeeding, now we’re 1 year strong.” Brianna

In Loving Memory of Martha Sears

With deep gratitude and sadness, La Leche League remembers Martha Sears, a nurse, mother of eight, La Leche League Leader, and co-author of trusted books on breastfeeding and baby care.

Martha shared her warmth and knowledge with countless mothers around the world. Her gentle presence and belief in mother-to-mother support helped many mothers feel confident and connected.

“Breastfeeding is not just about milk. It’s about connection.” – Martha Sears

We send our love to her family and to all who were touched by her life. Her legacy of love and support will always be part of La Leche League.

If Martha’s work or words touched you, we invite you to share a memory or message in the comments below.

Are you wondering how to continue breastfeeding after returning to work? You are not alone, and there is no single way that works for everyone.

At LLL, you can find your local group and Leaders who will listen and help you explore what may work best for your situation. Many mothers plan by exploring options such as remote work, part-time schedules, or a gradual return to work. Others speak with their manager or HR about flexible hours, break times, and a private space for pumping. It also helps to consider milk storage and choose a childcare provider who supports your goals.

Share your story about combining breastfeeding and work.
Your experience may help another mother who is preparing for this stage. You can also tag someone who may need this today.
