Nursing Mothers
Alliance is a volunteer, non-profit organization that serves many
areas in the Philadelphia Western Suburbs. We offer non-medical
telephone counseling by trained lay counselors who have breastfed
at least one baby for six months or more. Our goal is to offer encouragement,
information, and support to anyone wishing to breastfeed for whatever
period of time she chooses. In addition, we hold free monthly
meetings that are open to the public. We welcome pregnant women,
nursing moms, dads, partners, and children. Please join us. These
meetings area valuable extension of our counseling services and
are an opportunity for you to speak with other nursing mothers,
foster new friendships, and learn more about breastfeeding.
The counselors
in these individual groups help pregnant and breastfeeding mothers
of their communities meet their breastfeeding goals for whatever
period of time they choose to breastfeed. For any breastfeeding
questions and information, to receive your own personal breastfeeding
counselor, or to be included in our mailing list, call our WARMLINE
at (610) 251-9405. This line is staffed by members of the individual
NMA groups. Or, you can send us email at nmapasub@yahoo.com.
