    As of June 1st, the LLL Breastfeeding Helpline is fully operational.  There will be publicity coming out very soon for the helpline, yet in the meantime please help in spreading the word for the breastfeeding community to call 1-877-4 LALECHE (1-877-452-5324) for 24 hour toll-free breastfeeding helpline services.

    Re: La Leche League Breastfeeding Helpline

    Thanks so much for posting this. I tried it out yesterday for a problem I've been having the  last 2 weeks with my 15 month old. They were VERY helpful and best of all, it was a free service! I have told all my friends of childbearing age about this. What a great service!!! Party!!! [<:o)]Smile [:)]

    Thank you so much for posting this #.  I was able to call just now and get a real live person to talk to about some breast feeding issues!  It was so wonderful and the lady was very friendly!  Highly recommend it for anyone needing to talk and ask questions.

    The best thing about the helpline is that they're all volunteer leaders from the LLL.  I'm glad that it's up and running and helping out.

    Re: La Leche League Breastfeeding Helpline

    I was referred to a website by La Leche League that I found very helpful. www.drjacknewman.com He is a great advocate of breastfeeding and this is his specialty.  There are video clips you can download about proper latch etc. as well as many helpful handouts to read.  I even e-mailed him a specific question and he responded.  If your having difficuties I recommend this site to you!
