Welcome
Breastfeeding Today was a bimonthly online magazine produced by La Leche League InternationaI until 2022. At Breastfeeding Today, our aim was to inspire breastfeeding families and breastfeeding advocates, to foster a sense of connectedness and understanding among breastfeeding families across the globe, and to share accurate breastfeeding information to encourage and help one another.
Through its pages, Breastfeeding Today promoted the La Leche League International philosophy, mission and vision “to realize, deepen and share the love and wisdom found in the breastfeeding relationship”.
