Join us for our virtual conference: 70 Years of Breastfeeding Support in a Changing World

For 70 years, across generations, cultures, and changing times, what began with seven mothers sharing their own experiences has grown into a global community of support, connection, and reliable information.
This October, we come together to celebrate that journey and continue building what mothers have always needed: support from one another.

More details coming soon

Today we recognize babies with Down syndrome and their families 💙💛

Every baby and every journey is unique. Some babies may need more time, support, and different ways to feed and connect.

Breastfeeding can be one part of that journey. It can support your baby’s health, development, and your connection together.

You are not alone.

As fasting begins for some families, breastfeeding mothers may have questions about what this could mean for them and their babies.

Every experience is different.
Some mothers choose to fast.
Some decide to wait.
Some take it one day at a time.

Your comfort and your baby’s behavior can help you decide what works best for your family. If concerns arise, you may choose to adjust your plans.

During non-fasting hours, eating and drinking regularly may help you feel better while caring for your baby.

Your wellbeing matters too.
If you would like to talk with someone, your local La Leche League group is there to listen and support you.

Love grows in small moments.

You learn your baby’s cues.
You respond, again and again.
You grow closer together.

You and your baby are learning together.

If you need support, you can connect with your local La Leche League group.

Congratulations Francesca Lollobrigida 💚

Breastfeeding while training at an elite level isn’t about perfection — it’s about finding a rhythm that works for your family.

We celebrate you, and every family navigating care and daily life in their own way.

Thank you, WHO, for this message. La Leche League International fully supports it.

Breastfeeding is a human rights issue, and mothers everywhere deserve respect, protection, support, and information to breastfeed anytime and anywhere, without shame or barriers.

La Leche League has been providing breastfeeding support and information for 70 years, working with mothers, families, communities, and global partners to ensure mothers and babies are healthy and supported. 🤍

Mothers should never feel ashamed to breastfeed their babies.
🤱🏻🤱🏼🤱🏽🤱🏾🤱🏿🤱

From a glass of water, a chat with a friend, or a comfortable space, we can all help respect the rights of mums to breastfeed anytime, anywhere.

Let's all step up to support mums!
