“No matter how far our world advances technologically, the decisions of how to use that technology still have to be made by people. And so the kind of people we produce is crucial to the direction our world takes. You know that raising a loving, caring child is the most important contribution any of us can make to the progress of the world.”
-Marian Thompson, a co-Founder of La Leche League International
“Breastfeeding is an instinctual and natural act, but it is also an art that is learned day by day. The reality is that almost all women can breastfeed, have enough milk for their babies and learn how to overcome problems both large and small. It is almost always simply a matter of practical knowledge and not a question of good luck.”-La Leche League
“I’m an advocate of ‘indiscreet’ breastfeeding – the more that people see babies at the breast, the more normal it will be.”
-Dr. Jack Newman"Motherhood isn’t supposed to be something you do by yourself. Throughout time mothers have gathered together to share information, reassurance and friendship."
-LLL Great Britain
