"LLLGB NEWS has been great as it always had a relevant and uplifting article and always came when I was really in need of a boost" Charnjit
"La Leche League was incredibly helpful - I spoke to the local Leader several times on the telephone. I went on to feed S for 18 months" Fiona
"Dear LLL - Thank you so much for such a detailed email reply so promptly. I could hardly believe my eyes!!! Also for putting further info into the post … I may come back to you with further questions - so nice to have a positive, supportive, knowledgeable resource at the ready. Cheers!" M
It took me until I was pregnant with my sixth baby to discover La Leche League (no, I didn't know how to pronounce it then either!) I went along to a local group meeting and at last, here were people, who knew what they were talking about, who understood my desperate need to breastfeed the baby I was carrying. This time I succeeded and then went on to breastfeed baby number seven too" Doris
"I am a lone mum of two. I breastfed my daughter, now four years old, for three weeks, giving up after a difficult pregnancy and delivery and a lack of support. I breastfed my son until two months ago when he was 13 months old. I thoroughly enjoyed it" Katie (a peer counsellor trainee)
