I owe my profession of IBCLC to La Leche League. My mom became a Leader in 1961, and growing up in LLL probably greatly influenced my interest in becoming a midwife ❤️

Happy, happy 69th birthday, La Leche League! We remain forever thankful for the vision of seven women who changed the world, one nursing dyad at a time. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
