How We Can Help You

Our La Leche League International trained Breastfeeding Peer Counselors can help you with common breastfeeding questions on issues ranging from latching to pumping and storage, and can give you support to make breastfeeding a success. The Helpline is open to all breastfeeding mothers, partners, prospective parents, family members and health professionals seeking to learn more about breastfeeding.

The Helpline is an information and referral service only and we cannot provide a medical diagnosis or answer medical questions. All medical questions should be directed to a doctor or nurse.

When You Can Contact Us

Call us Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., EST. If you call after hours, you will be given the option to leave a message, and a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor will return your call on the next business day.
