2016 will be the 60th Anniversary year of La Leche League. Our calendar is a celebration. Each one of the 12 beautiful photos in this calendar was submitted by parents who wanted to share those 'Precious Moments' from their family lives and help us raise much needed funds to support breastfeeding families in Great Britain. Every photo is accompanied by a quotation from our book The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding.

The exciting world of solid foods

25/8/2015

Introducing your baby to other foods can be fun. The simplest way is to continue your usual breastfeeding pattern and let your baby join you at family mealtimes. He'll be able to handle, taste and explore new foods gradually and in his own time. Our DVD and booklet explain how you can introduce solids in a natural way alongside breastfeeding. And our information sheet Toddlers and Food explores ways to continue this process into the second year when many toddlers suddenly start being more discerning about what they will and won't eat. The booklet Breastfeeding & Dental Health discusses the different factors that may contribute to tooth decay and what you can do to help protect those important first teeth.

How does shopping with LLLGB make a difference?

11/2/2015

When you choose to buy from us you can be reassured that everything we sell is in line with LLL philosophy of mothering through breastfeeding. We'll use any profits from your purchases to further our work supporting breastfeeding mothers and babies.
La Leche League is an international non-profit organisation. In the UK, LLLGB has around 250 accredited breastfeeding counsellors (known as 'Leaders') who organise and run breastfeeding support meetings in their local area as well as supporting mothers one-to-one by phone, email and through social media. Our Leaders are all volunteers who have breastfed their own babies and completed LLL's internationally accredited training. They have chosen this role because they know the enormous difference it can make to have a supportive and informed friend on hand to talk to when difficulties arise. The support we offer is free, but there are costs in getting it to those who need it through our National Helpline, our website, our publications or our Leader training programme.
