Mothering through breastfeeding is
the most natural and effective way of understanding and satisfying the
needs of your baby. Breastfed babies are healthiest, with fewer
allergies, respiratory illnesses and gastrointestinal problems.
And today, it is possible for mothers who must return to work to
continue to enjoy the breastfeeding relationship.
We
are here to help you mother your
baby through breastfeeding. Though breastfeeding is natural, many
women find they benefit from information and support. Getting to
know other nursing women can be helpful and reassuring. La Leche
League of Fresno and Clovis offers several ways to support women
through their breastfeeding journey. We offer phone support by
accredited La Leche League Leaders. We have monthly support group
meetings. Occasionally we offer specialty meetings
with enrichment topics and participate in additional community outreach
activities. Check our calendar of events for more information.
You can telephone La Leche League's accredited volunteer Leaders
anytime for breastfeeding help. For a referral to a Leader call:

La Leche League is an
international, non-profit, non-sectarian organization dedicated to
providing information, support, encouragement, and education to women
who want to breastfeed.
