Call La Leche League for Answers to Your Breastfeeding Questions

June 21, 2007

A couple of weeks ago I went to a La Leche League meeting. I'd never been before. And in some sense, I didn't really pick the right meeting. It was a session about breastfeeding basics. I was there-- depleted, post-weaning boobs and all-- along with some very pregnant moms, and some very very little babies. (I had forgotten how small a newborn is! Makes my 15 month old "baby" look like a giant!)

But I have to say the meeting was interesting. It was essentially a support group. A chance for people to ask questions and share stories. I'm not sure I'll go back, unless I see something that's a little more relevant to what I'm doing. But even so, it was nice to see the help you can find if you really seek it out.

If you don't have the energy to find-- and actually attend-- a meeting like this, but you need help, La Leche League has a 24 hour hotline, 7 days a week. This is perfect for those 5 a.m. questions that are driving you to tears.

Here's the number:
