Join us tonight for our first virtual La Leche League meeting. Best of all, you don't have to bundle everyone up to get there!

The World Health Organization has issued new guidance, including "WHO does not recommend discontinuing breastfeeding after vaccination." https://www.who.int/.../WHO-2019-nCoV-vaccines-SAGE_recommend Our article on vaccines contains links to information from multiple countries/health organisations - this is for your convenience, we do not endorse any source. https://www.llli.org/breastfeeding-info/vaccines/ Please note this post is for information. La Leche League has no stance on vaccines, and we are not hosting a debate about the benefits or drawbacks of any vaccine. As such, this post is being preventatively moderated and all comments will be deleted. As with all medications LLL Leaders cannot offer advice about vaccines, we recommend you consult your healthcare provider or regional ministry of health guidelines for further information, and guidance regarding your own circumstances.

Happening tomorrow!
