La Leche League International (LLLI) is holding a global, multi-language online conference on 14-15 October 2024 (UTC) to celebrate the launch of The Art of Breastfeeding, the 9th edition of the La Leche League (LLL) core book (previously named The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding). The aim of the event is to expand on the foundations of LLL by delivering a fantastic lineup of global presenters covering all parts of LLL support, as well as share insights into brand new research.

In addition to launching The Art of Breastfeeding, LLLI is celebrating the 68th birthday of LLL by hosting 68 new and innovative conference sessions.

The keynote speakers are the writers of The Art of Breastfeeding: Jayne Joyce, Bibiana Moreno-Carranza, Teresa Pitman, and Anna Swisher. You can read their bios here.

LLLI is also very proud to be showcasing the film ‘Milk’ by Noemi Weis. The filmmaker says that, “through screenings globally, this film has helped people to connect with and understand the dire consequences faced by those impacted by disaster, emergency, and our failing systems when we do not adequately support, protect and promote breastfeeding.”

Mark your calendars – early bird tickets will go on sale in July 2024. LLLI encourages you to attend! CERPs will be applied for and offered at reasonable prices. Look out for further announcements on LLLI social media platforms and in future editions of LLL Today.
