La Leche League of Ireland

La Leche League of Ireland is a voluntary organisation which provides free information and support to all those who want to breastfeed their babies.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to help mothers worldwide to breastfeed through mother-to-mother support, encouragement, information, and education, and to promote a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important element in the healthy development of the baby and mother.

What We Do

All La Leche League Leaders are volunteers who have enjoyed nursing their own babies and who see the importance of helping other mothers develop a happy breastfeeding relationship. They have completed an internationally accredited training programme and continue to attend regular training . They are familiar with breastfeeding techniques as well as with current research. They organize the monthly meet ups and are available at any time to speak with a mother in person, on the telephone or via various social media channels. La Leche League Leaders also give talks at antenatal classes, sit on breastfeeding committees and are available as a reference source for medical professionals
