This is a group for breastfeeding moms who believe "BREAST IS BEST" and oppose the use of formula unless there is absolutely no other alternative. This is a safe place to share information and support with like-minded moms who know the dangers of human milk substitutions.

LLL philosophy is summarized in the following ten concepts (this is what this group is all about:
~Mothering through breastfeeding is the most natural and effective way of understanding and satisfying the needs of the baby.
~Mother and baby need to be together early and often to establish a satisfying relationship and an adequate milk supply.
~In the early years, the baby has an intense need to be with his mother which is as basic as his need for food.
~Breast milk is the superior infant food.
~For the healthy, full-term baby, breast milk is the only food necessary until the baby shows signs of needing solids, about the middle of the first year after birth.
~Ideally the breastfeeding relationship will continue until the baby outgrows the need.
~Alert and active participation by the mother in childbirth is a help in getting breastfeeding off to a good start.
~Breastfeeding is enhanced and the nursing couple sustained by the loving support, help, and
companionship of the baby’s father. A father’s unique relationship with his baby is an important element in the child’s development from early infancy.
~Good nutrition means eating a well-balanced and varied diet of foods in as close to their natural state as possible.
~From infancy on, children need loving guidance which reflects acceptance of their capabilities and sensitivity to their feelings.
