We're excited to share a brand new video: A Chat with the Writers of The Art of Breastfeeding. In this candid conversation, you'll meet the writers behind La Leche League International's newest book! 

More than Just a Book
The Art of Breastfeeding is a modern resource designed for new parents, peer supporters, and anyone who walks alongside families in their lactation journeys. The book honours the emotions, the questions, the messy moments, and the many ways breastfeeding shows up in people’s lives.

What does being on the Board involve? 

Build your confidence in communication and deepen your impact in lactation support with Empowering Conversations—a practical, interactive workshop series by La Leche League Canada. Through real-world scenarios and supportive discussion, you'll learn how to navigate sensitive topics, foster trust, and meet families where they are.

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.
