PLEASE NOTE:

  • Your question will be answered by a volunteer La Leche League Leader, working in her own home, whose area of expertise is breastfeeding management, not by a board of medical or legal experts or professional breastfeeding researchers
  • The person who answers your question may refer to her support team for further information to help you, but your name and email address will never be shared without your permission
  • The answer you receive will be tailored to you personally and the information may not be appropriate to another mother's situation, so please do not share your helpform response in a public forum without permission from the Leader who wrote it
