LLL Hertfordshire is a voluntary support group, led by trained breastfeeding counsellors ('Leaders'). Babies and toddlers are always welcome.

Support and information for breastfeeding families through group meetings, online sessions, antenatal courses, and one-to-one support via phone, email or text from La Leche League Leaders (breastfeeding counsellors). We are dedicated to providing support, information and education for anyone who wants to breastfeed. Anyone who is pregnant or interested in breastfeeding is very welcome to join our meetings, whatever age and stage you’re at, from bump to weaning.

Our Hertfordshire group of volunteer LLL Leaders (breastfeeding counsellors) is fundraising to help us attend a 1½-day national training workshop in Sheffield, later this year.

We're raising money to cover workshop tickets, travel and accommodation. This training helps us keep our knowledge up to date so we can continue offering free, compassionate support to families.

If you're able to donate, no matter how small, we'd be so grateful. Thank you so much for your support. 🙏❤️

You can now sign up to attend online LLL meetings throughout the month!

You don't need to have a 'problem' to join, but Leaders will always address any 'burning issues' that people have.

Fran Bartz and Heather Birt from Herts will host the meeting on 7th Sept - we would love to see you there!

It's hot in some parts of the UK! 🌞 Even in very hot weather your exclusively breastfed baby doesn’t need additional water, but they will probably want to breastfeed more. It's good to offer. The composition of your breast milk will change in response to the need of your baby - a higher water content in the hot weather and a higher fat content in the colder months.
