About Our Meetings
La Leche League welcomes all women, together with their babies and children, who are interested in learning more about breastfeeding and mothering. Meetings are free of charge, but membership is greatly appreciated and encouraged! Thank you for bringing quiet toys for your children and a nutritious snack to share. In bad weather, we follow local school closings.
Delmar La Leche League has breastfeeding on the menu! We offer four meetings per month - morning, noon and night - to provide the best breastfeeding support for you!
Series Meetings are led by Leaders and cover the following topics:
1) The Benefits of Breastfeeding
2) At Home with Your New Baby
3) The Normal Course of Breastfeeding- Avoiding and Overcoming Difficulties
4) Weaning and Nutrition
Enrichment Meetings are led by both Leaders and other mothers. We cover a range of subjects that relate to parenting, from baby-wearing to book discussions.
