A woman who has successfully breastfed is a valuable asset to her community, and often highly motivated to help and support other mothers.
The Breastfeeding Peer Counsellor Programme is a La Leche League initiative that builds on this community capacity to provide cost-effective breastfeeding peer support.
The programme provides women from target populations with training and resources to offer skilled and knowledgeable help to other mothers (their peers).
For more information, visit the Breastfeeding Peer Counsellor Programme website.
