Austin South I | La Leche League of Texas

Austin South I

La Leche League meetings offer encouragement and support, as well as practical breastfeeding information to nursing mothers and pregnant women planning to breastfeed. Our meetings are informal discussions of breastfeeding related topics facilitated by trained, accredited, La Leche League Leaders.

Each mother is encouraged to take from La Leche League's philosophy what seems sensible and helpful to her.

All women who have an interest in breastfeeding are invited to begin a meeting series at any time. The ideal time to begin attending is during pregnancy because the information received at that time may benefit a mother when her baby is born, and to obtain a copy of our manual, THE WOMANLY ART OF BREASTFEEDING.

We look forward to meeting you and your baby in person!

Meeting Information

When We Meet:

First Tuesday of the month at 10:00 AM

Meeting Location:

Christ's Workshop 212 E. Monroe - across from Christ Lutheran Church (2 blocks E of S. Congress) Parking is on the side of the building near the playground.

Meeting Information:

In order to better serve our community but at the same time put our families first, we offer a variety of meetings. No two series are exactly alike, since we are all growing in our understanding of child development, mothering and family life. As we share our knowledge of mothering through breastfeeding, we can all learn and support each other during this important time in the lives of our families.

The series of meetings follows the course of breastfeeding:

Advantages of Breastfeeding
The Baby Arrives - The Family and the Breastfed Baby
The Art of Breastfeeding and Overcoming Difficulties
Nutrition and Weaning
