Mothers’ support groups help to encourage breastfeeding
In the Russian Federation and all over the world, mothers' support groups are helping to encourage women to breastfeed. One such group in Russia is the Greater Moscow League of Young Mums, a nonprofit organization based in Moscow Province.
When she was pregnant with her first baby, Juliya Lesnova, a young mother from Stupino near Moscow, attended courses organized by the Greater Moscow League of Young Mums. She says that this preparation and ongoing support from League members helped her to have a trouble-free breastfeeding experience with her two children.
