We've had a few posts recently asking for bf help for moms in other parts of
the country. I'd like to remind everybody that you can always refer them to
the oldest and largest bf support organization in the world: La Leche League
International!
To find a LLL leader anywhere in the world LLLI has a group web page at
http://www.lalecheleague.org/WebIndex.html
They currently have listed over 200 group web pages in 49 US states, 18
countries and two US territories, and more are being added all the time. If
you can't find exactly the city you need, you can contact a leader in the same
state and they can check their directory and refer you to the closest LLL
leader.
You feel your mom needs help beyond the expertise of a LLL leader? Some
leaders are also IBCLC themselves, and if not, the local leader will know the
resources in her area and be able to refer your mom to someone who can help
her.
Take advantage of the wonderful resources La Leche League has to offer you.
