NOTE: On April 29th, 2009 we received notice that Geocities, our web-hosting service of 11+ years, will be closing later on this year. While we are searching for another service to host this web site, we are forming a group at Facebook. Please join Facebook, search for La Leche League of Teaneck, NJ and join the group, or send Abbie Slaman, our webservant, a friend request and she will invite you to join the group.

 

La Leche League of
Teaneck, New Jersey

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 invited to attend our meetings or to call our Leaders for help.

Our League meetings offer a unique opportunity for you to learn more about the natural way of nurturing your baby. La Leche League Leaders, experienced nursing mothers, are well prepared to answer your questions. Firsthand accounts about breastfeeding and practical mothering tips are readily shared by all at the meetings. The Group provides the womanly support that is so crucial to the nursing mother. Of course, babies are always welcome at LLL functions.

The membership fee is tax-deductible. Membership is not a requirement to attend our meetings.

Donations are also graciously accepted so that you may help La Leche League continue to help others as you have been helped.

At the meetings you can select from a wide variety of Lending LLLibrarybooks in the lending library, as well as pamphlets on breastfeeding, childbirth, mothering and child care. Copies of the La Leche League manual, The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, and other La Leche League books and publications, are available for purchase.
