Online Support
Do you need support right now? Check out our online support options – we’ve got you covered.
Getting in touch
We’re a growing team of La Leche League accredited breastfeeding counsellors throughout the UK, and we’re here to support you. No question is ever too big or too small, too common or too rare. Reach out, and we will reply with warmth as soon as we can. We’re also parents ourselves so often we’re replying with children (large and small) underfoot!
And if you have specific accessibility needs we will do our best to meet them, please let us know how we can help you best.
WhatsApp Us
A team of LLL Collective Leaders is standing by to connect to you by WhatsApp! Get in touch and we can chat by text or phone calls can be arranged. Please don’t hesitate – no question is too big or small!
Email Us
Do you have a less urgent question? Feel free to email us, and we will get in touch as soon as possible! We can also arrange a 1:1 phone/video session as well.
Join an online meeting
We run online video meetings at different points each month. If you’d like to talk to others who have had similar experiences to you, join us and get community support from the comfort of your own home.

Working Parents
Have you returned to work? Or are you making a plan for when you do? Perhaps you‘re making a decision about whether to change your working pattern?

We are excited to offer an online meeting supporting LGBTQIA+ families who are breastfeeding, chestfeeding or human-milk feeding their babies to any extent, and their allies. We are happy to support you in achieving your feeding goals, and welcome you at any stage of your journey.

Toddler Meetings
Are you nursing a toddler? Or is your baby rapidly approaching toddlerhood? Nursing journeys often shift in new and unexpected ways when our children start toddling. Join us to discuss the highs and lows of toddler feeding – whether you are currently breast/chestfeeding one or about to!
