Gwynneth is a Leader in Cape Town. She is passionate about supporting working moms and has served in various admin roles within LLLSA.

I want to share my joy of co-sleeping with my 5 month old boy.

I’m a mom of three and I breastfed with success before so it never occurred to me that I would have so much difficulty with my third child.

The riveting saga of Wilken, the pint-sized revolutionary who staged a one-baby protest against the bottle industry, awaited me.

Mamma-wees vir die eerste keer en borsvoed vir die eerste keer het my dieper geraak as wat ek ooit kon voorstel. Dis die mooiste mooi...

I honestly did not think that anyone would be able to help me...especially not on a call, miles away. But finally after all these years!

This year for World Breastfeeding Week the focus will be on survival, health and wellbeing and the need to improve breastfeeding support.

A story of how I went from formula feeding and a C-section with my first baby, to a vaginal delivery and breastfeeding my second baby.

This is the proudest achievement of my life. We reached the 5 month mark of exclusive breastfeeding without formula milk and no solids.

We have learned that breastfeeding is almost like a sport. The more you practice, the better you become at it.

I am a full-time working and breastfeeding mom. I must admit that it has been a very challenging journey with travelling and pumping.

My son, was born prematurely at 32 weeks, weighing 2.1kgs. He went to the NICU for oxygen and I started expressing my milk immediately.

I was so engorged after forgetting my breastpump. I turned to the hot jar method and hand expressing to alleviate the engorgement.

Nan, one of our longest serving leaders, is based in Gqeberha involved with the LLLSA group there as well as active on our Facebook group.

After taking the pills to dry up my milk I thought that was the end of my breastfeeding journey but six days later I still had milk...

My one breast stopped making milk at four months, which could have been the end of my journey but La Leche League supported me to continue.

What a day in the life looks like of a breastfeeding mom with a young baby who works a corporate job as a travelling sales representative.

If I had access to La Leche League it would've been so helpful for me as a new mom. I now encourage all my pregnant friends to join.

I don't know what made me do it but I offered my breast again and he instantly latched on and started sucking.

This year the focus of World Breastfeeding Week, commemorated from 1-7 August 2023, is on breastfeeding and employment/work.
