We often hear online that breastfeeding can harm maternal mental health, but that’s not what the research shows. In fact, studies tell us a more nuanced story. When we honour our natural rhythms, stay connected, and receive support, breastfeeding can play a positive role in maternal well-being. 

Join us for a free virtual workshop exploring Maternal Mental Health and Breastfeeding. Expect evidence-based learning, thoughtful discussion, and a bit of reflective writing. Babies are always welcome.

Are you expecting a little one soon? Prepare for your breastfeeding journey with confidence by registering for LLLC’s Breastfeeding Essentials Prenatal Class! This comprehensive and supportive class is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to get breastfeeding off to a great start. Led by compassionate La Leche League Leaders, you’ll learn about the basics of breastfeeding, common challenges, and practical tips for navigating those early days.

Fatty Tissue: Shown in yellow in diagrams, fatty tissue largely determines the size of your breasts.

Glandular Tissue: The milk-making powerhouse! It resembles tiny bunches of grapes, with each "grape" (alveolus) filling with milk. These contract to send milk through thin ducts to the multiple openings in your nipples.

Fun Fact: Glandular tissue starts developing during puberty. More is added with every pregnancy and through breastfeeding, creating a unique milk-making system tailored just for your baby.
