Please do leave a message if we are unable to answer. Due to some problems with crank calls, we are not comfortable returning calls to an unknown number or person. Also, please keep in mind that we are volunteers with families, so sometimes we cannot answer the phone or return calls immediately.


Come join us for our La Leche League Library Meet & Play!
What time?  9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
What day?   third Wednesday of every month
Where?        WHILE THERE IS A RISK OF PASSING COVID-19, WE WILL BE HOLDING VIRTUAL MEETINGS OR MEETINGS IN A PARK. PLEASE CONTACT LEADERS FOR INFORMATION.

AFTER THE RISK OF COVID-19 HAS PASSED, WE WILL RETURN TO HOLDING MEETINGS IN:
Rose Rock Room, 2nd floor, in the all-new Norman Public Library Central

The Rose Rock Room is the green glass-walled room to the right of the stairs and elevators on the second floor. We will bring toys for the children to share. We chat while our children play. Burning questions are always welcome, or just come to hang out with people who share your interest in breastfeeding!

 Anyone who is nursing or pregnant or who is interested in learning more about nursing, breastfeeding, or otherwise providing human milk for their baby is welcome (including your children) at every meeting. 
  • We are very grateful to our local library for providing us space in which to hold our meetings without charge! We ask that all attendees respect their property. We appreciate their generosity so much!
  • If you have a toddler, you may want to bring something for them to eat at meetings, but due to the need to protect potentially allergic children and to protect the library's furnishings, please:  --bring non-messy snacks                                                                                                           --keep the snack with you and allow your child to eat it only with you.
If you are interested in attending, please confirm meeting day and time prior to the meeting with one of the Leaders in case of changes. Sick children or inclement weather may lead to cancellation.

You can also find us on Facebook! We often post new research, nursing tips, or information for nursing in a crisis (such as tornadoes!) on our Facebook page. Our Facebook Group is like an online meeting; if you wish to join, follow the link above and send a join request to the Leaders. We will post meeting cancellation notices on our FB Page as early as possible.

   Facebook Group: La Leche League of Cleveland County Families

Our face-to-face meetings offer a space for developing a network of friends with others who have similar values for nursing their babies and parenting and for sharing your concerns and joys. We will share information and tips about a variety of issues a nursing family may experience, including surviving the early postpartum weeks, managing milk supply and coping with latch issues, pumping, yeast infections (thrush), mastitis, tongue tie/lip tie, working and nursing, and much more. 

Leaders are trained and accredited by La Leche League International to provide individual support and help nursing families overcome many of the early challenges of nursing as well as those that may arise later along the nursing journey. Please keep in mind that only a Leader speaks for La Leche League. Leaders will always offer evidence-based information.

​All others speak only from their own personal parenting experiences. While we often start a meeting with a particular topic as a conversation-starter, your questions are always welcome; we emphasize sharing and mutual support in an open discussion.
