A gentle reset: You do not need a fresh start to be doing well.”

January can feel like a reset, but parenting does not need a makeover. Breastfeeding is built one feed at a time. This year, focus on small moments that work for you and your baby, not perfection.

Myth: You need to wean when the baby gets teeth.

Not true. Many babies nurse well with teeth. Biting isn’t a sign to stop—it’s a sign to troubleshoot. If biting happens, unlatch calmly and try again. If they bite again, unlatch and offer them something they CAN chew on. Nursing can continue through teething and beyond.

What is your baby’s most subtle hunger cue?

10/21/2026

Every baby is unique — and so are their feeding needs! Responsive feeding means offering to nurse when your little one shows early hunger cues like mouth movements, rooting, or putting their hands in their mouth.
Feeding based on your baby’s cues (instead of the clock) helps build trust, supports healthy growth, and strengthens the bond between you and your baby.

By responding to your baby’s signals, you’re not just feeding their tummy — you’re helping them develop a healthy relationship with food and teaching them to recognize and respond to their own hunger and fullness cues as they grow.

REALITY CHECK: YOUR LIFE ISN'T A PROMPT

Your family is unique. LLL Leaders listen to your individual situation instead of giving you a one-size-fits-all answer.

REAL LIFE NEEDS REAL PEOPLE

Almost everyone can establish and maintain a healthy milk supply with the right support and information. Key ways to build and protect your supply include breastfeeding or chestfeeding within the first hour after birth and offering frequent, unlimited access to your breast in the early days and weeks. Milk production works on supply and demand, so the more milk your baby removes, the more your body receives the signal to make more. Skin-to-skin contact, a comfortable latch, feeding when your baby shows hunger cues, and offering both breasts at each feeding all help support milk production. Even if the start was challenging, following these tips can improve your milk supply and support your baby’s growth. For full guidance and practical tips, read the complete article here:

Special LLL Today issue

💚 It all began with seven mothers, 70 years ago today. On October 17, 1956, the first La Leche League meeting took place at Mary White’s home in Illinois, USA. Seven mothers came together to share breastfeeding support, information, and encouragement.

Seventy years later, La Leche League continues to connect mothers worldwide through breastfeeding support.

To celebrate this anniversary, we are sharing a special edition of LLL Today that looks back at our history and 70 years of mother-to-mother breastfeeding support.

🌍 Available in seven languages.
