La Leche League Collective: Scotland
heart-to-heart breastfeeding support
La Leche League Collective offers meetings in Glasgow and Edinburgh, and online. Our breastfeeding and chestfeeding counsellors are here to support you on your nursing journey – no matter where it takes you.
Who we are
We are breastfeeding counsellors accredited by La Leche League International.
We’ve all nursed our babies and are here to support you on your journey, whether that’s breastfeeding and chestfeeding for a day, for years, by pumping, by donation, and everything in between. You can read more about us here.
We offer meetings across the central belt, in addition to national online meetings and 1:1 support. In Glasgow, we’re at the Hidden Gardens and the Science Centre. In Edinburgh, we’re at Buccleuch Church in Newington and monthly at the Ps&Gs playgroup. See our schedule below!
All our support is free to all.

Webinar Series
We’re elevating the voices of those with lived experience and those who work with minoritised communities to learn more about making support equitable.
Get online at your library
Did you know some local Scottish libraries allow families to access our online meetings from library spaces? We’ve worked with Aberdeen City Libraries to make this possible. We would love to talk with your library, too! Reach out and we’ll be happy to try to set this up close to your home.
Do you have something to share?
Help us create our new website! We would love to feature your story or photo. Send it in to us via our release form, or you can always email us and we’d be happy to chat more.
