Welcome to the LLL Mountain Empire website!
This
site was created to serve the families of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.
We are here to provide you with breastfeeding
information and encouragement. It is our joy and privilege to introduce
you and your family to the many benefits of Mothering through Breastfeeding.
You Are Invited
Breastfeeding
is a wonderfully simple and natural process, but mothers do need
support and information on such topics as the correct positioning of
the baby at the breast, working and breastfeeding, avoiding problems,
and overcoming any difficulties that may occur.
Questions
also arise: Is my baby getting enough to eat? How can I tell? Why is my
baby fussing? What can the father do to participate in caring for the
baby? When should my baby wean? And so forth.
Feel free to call your local La Leche League Leader with your questions.
Your Local La Leche League Leaders...
La
Leche League Leaders are mothers who have successfully breastfed and
have completed LLL's training and accreditation process. Leaders are
pleased to volunteer their time to discuss your breastfeeding or
related mothering concerns. Leaders are volunteers answering calls from
their homes.
