Who are we?

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


Our Mission

Our Mission is to help mothers worldwide to breastfeed through mother-to-mother support, information, encouragement, 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.


Our Leaders are familiar with breastfeeding techniques as well as current research. They organise monthly meetings and and can be contacted at any time by 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.
