We invite you to browse our site and learn more about the Friends of La Leche League (formerly the LLL Alumnae Association).
Let’s connect if you are:
The mission of the Friends of La Leche League is to support La Leche League as a resource and inspiration for future generations, encourage lifelong connections with the LLL community, and share the insights and wisdom that began with the breastfeeding relationship.
We are so thrilled about the new Friends of La Leche League website! Featuring a simpler design, better graphics, more photos, and integration with our social media feeds, the new website should make it much easier for Friends to connect. And the new technology will make it easier for us to maintain and update as well. We encourage you to explore and let us know what you think. You can provide feedback on the new site by contacting info@friendsoflll.org.
Friend of La Leche League is excited to again award Mini-Grants this year. The mini-grant application process is closed for 2020. We announced the awards in the recent issue of Continuum. Information about the Friends of La Leche League Mini-Grants recipients is available here. Thank you to the 2020 Friends of La Leche League Mini-Grant Team: Cathy Baldizon, Paula Clay, Lupe Forsang, and Linda Parry.

Americans throw away 4 million pounds of wrapping paper every year.For our friends in the United States, it may not feel like much of a Thanksgiving this year. Many chairs are temporarily empty, as we stay away from our loved ones to keep the coronavirus at bay.
As we sit around the table (in person or virtually) today, sharing for what we are thankful, we are sure this tumultuous year has given us new perspectives on what to say.
But we know we will be sharing that we are thankful for each of YOU and how you are nurturing your baby through breastfeeding. Or maybe you are nurturing other adults in your life. Or maybe you are (finally!) nurturing yourself. Our connection with Friends meets us at every stage of life.
However you celebrate, we are thinking of you and wishing you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving.
MOMS are essential workers, too! We appreciate each and every one of the people mentioned - we've made it this far with lots of help from our essential worker friends!
