Formerly called
La Leche League
La Leche League International (LLLI) (Spanish: La Leche, lit. 'the milk') is a non-governmental, non-profit organization that organizes advocacy, education, and training related to breastfeeding. It is present in about 89 countries.[1][3]
The aim of the charity is to provide mother to mother support and recognize the importance of mothering through breastfeeding, especially in social cultures where motherhood and breastfeeding are often not valued. This includes a mixture of modern family set ups and feeding options, and major efforts have been made in recent years by the charity to improve diversity and equality, so it is accessible to all who seek support with their breastfeeding goals.
