seminar information
Many healthcare providers regard the La Leche League International (LLLI) Physicians' Seminar as the premiere learning opportunity for breastfeeding information. The LLLI Health Advisory Council, comprised of physicians in the areas of pediatrics, obstetrics, allergy, nutrition, psychology, family practice and related fields, develop and contribute to the information presented. The annual event was originally launched by the LLLI Health Advisory Council to fill the need for educating their colleagues about breastfeeding.
