Series Support Meetings
Attending La Leche League Series Meetings can help you learn about breastfeeding from other nursing mothers. All breastfeeding mothers and mothers-to-be interested in breastfeeding are welcome to come to meetings or call a Leader for breastfeeding help or information. Babies and children are always welcome.
At these monthly meetings, mothers share not only their questions and concerns but also the benefits and joys of breastfeeding. Knowing other women who have breastfed their babies can be helpful and reassuring. It is also important to have accurate, up-to-date information. The accurate, up-to-date information shared by Leaders at the meetings can prove invaluable to both new and experienced breastfeeding mothers.
Discussion topics include, but are not limited to:
1) The Importance of Breastfeeding for Mother, Baby, and the World
2) Preparing for Baby, Birth, and Baby's First Weeks
3) Practical Tips for Success
4) Nutrition, Weaning, and Changes as Baby Grows
LLL of Glassboro offers two meetings every month. 1st Thursday of every month at 6pm and 3rd Thursday of every month at 11am. I
NOW IN PERSON AND VIRTUAL (ZOOM).

LLL Philosophy and Mission
The basic philosophy of La Leche League is summarized in the following statements:
• Mothering through breastfeeding is the most natural and effective way of understanding and satisfying the needs of the baby.
• Mother and baby need to be together early and often to establish a satisfying relationship and an adequate milk supply.
• In the early years the baby has an intense need to be with his mother which is as basic as his need for food.
• Breast milk is the superior infant food.
• For the healthy, full-term baby, breast milk is the only food necessary until the baby shows signs of needing solids, about the middle of the first year after birth.
• Ideally the breastfeeding relationship will continue until the baby outgrows the need.
• Alert and active participation by the mother in childbirth is a help in getting breastfeeding off to a good start.
• Breastfeeding is enhanced and the nursing couple sustained by the loving support, help, and companionship of the baby's father.
A father's unique relationship with his baby is an important element in the child's development from early infancy.
• Good nutrition means eating a well-balanced and varied diet of foods in as close to their natural state as possible.
• From infancy on, children need loving guidance which reflects acceptance of their capabilities and sensitivity to their feelings.
The mission of La Leche League International 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.
La Leche League is a nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing support, encouragement, information, and education to all parents who want to breastfeed.
