La Leche League International
 PROFILE
Nursing mothers everywhere have a friend in La Leche League International. The global organization promotes and supports breastfeeding and serves as an information resource for both breastfeeding and parenting. Its 7,100 "Leaders" offer more than 3,000 breastfeeding support groups each month. The not-for-profit group also distributes information through its publications, videos, and audio books. La Leche League was founded in 1956 by a group of seven nursing mothers. During the 1950s, words like "breast" and "breastfeeding" weren't used in polite conversation, so the founders took their group's name from "leche," the Spanish word for milk.
