April 2014 - Regular Meetings, Saturday Gathering and More!

La Leche League of Charleston, South Carolina

At Group meetings La Leche League Leaders and other mothers share experiences, give suggestions and offer support and encouragement. LLL meetings are ideal for learning from and making friends with other mothers. We rotate themes and no two meetings are alike.   Every meeting focuses on mom's questions and concerns. Our theme for April is NUTRITION and WEANING…Pregnant women enjoy this topic so they can optimize their baby's health. Mothers learn how to start solids for their babies. Nutritious options for family meals are shared. Meetings are always FREE and children are always welcome.

March Fun 2014!!

LA LECHE LEAGUE OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA 


La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing education, information, support, and encouragement to women who want to breastfeed. All women interested in breastfeeding are welcome to attend the monthly Group Meetings or call a Leader for breastfeeding help.

You can find Leader information here for South Carolina http://www.llli.org/web/southcarolina.html

In Charleston, SC we have several options for IN PERSON support.  We love seeing you in person, we love that you can share your stories and also give support to other moms as well! 

Leaders are all accredited by La Leche League International and La Leche League USA.  
You can find out more about what LLL Leaders do here https://www.llli.org/lad/talll/faq.html

We have multiple events in March and are excited to share them on our blog as well as in our LLL of Charleston Facebook group

~ Please consider making a donation to LLL of Charleston, SC or becoming a member through your LOCAL group.  We appreciate the support!  It means we can help off set the cost of supplies that we then pass back to moms at meetings!  Consider the cost you'd pay for an IBCLC and the support you receive for FREE from the Leaders here in Charleston.  Thank you!
