About Us
To breastfeed happily, a mother needs confidence, the right information, and lots of time: time to talk with other mothers who are sympathetic to her needs and the needs of her baby. Our aim is to provide this service.
La Leche League (pronounced "Lah Lay-chay League") is an organisation founded by seven women who wanted to make breastfeeding easier and more rewarding for both mothers and children. The organisation offers information and encouragement - primarily through personal help - to women who want to breastfeed their babies.
Founded in the USA in 1956, La Leche League has become an international organisation. Today there are Groups on every continent. La Leche League became established in New Zealand in 1964 and currently has approximately 140 Leaders and 50 Groups.
