Breaking news!

Earthquake damage has forced a change of venue and dates (originally 5-7 October 2012) for our next Conference. The Conference Committee apologies for the inconvenience and assures you that our team is working hard to create a memorable event for you.

 

The Conference is open to all those interested in supporting mothers and babies to breastfeed: mothers, fathers, grandparents and other family members, breastfeeding peer counsellors including La Leche League Leaders, Leader Applicants, midwives, nurses including well child nurses, lactation consultants, doctors, community health and social workers and others.

 

Our theme "Breastfeeding: Establishing Identity - ukaipo: no wai te waiu?" will present the many ways that breastfeeding shapes the lives of mothers, children, families, supporters and society as a whole. We will also explore the challenges faced in establishing the identity of breastfeeding.   

 

Speakers from the La Leche League Board of Consultants, Leaders, and from the wider community will be presenting on a range of current breastfeeding and parenting topics. Highlights from the programme will be posted as they come to hand. If you have a great idea for a conference topic please let us know.

 

Hotel Ashburton is located on the outskirts of Ashburton in the farming region of Mid Canterbury, an hour's easy drive from Christchurch and the airport. Friendly staff and a tranquil setting with quality accommodation will ensure you have a comfortable conference experience. Find out more about Hotel Ashburton at www.hotelash.co.nz/
