La Leche League was founded to give information and encouragement, mainly through personal help, to all mothers who want to breastfeed their babies. While complementing the care of the physician and other health care professionals, it recognizes the unique importance of one mother helping another to perceive the needs of her child and to learn the best means of fulfilling those needs.

Many health care providers regard the LLLI Physicians' Seminar as the premiere learning opportunity for breastfeeding information. The LLLI Health Advisory Council, comprised of physicians in the areas of pediatrics, obstetrics, allergy, nutrition, psychology, family practice and related fields, develop and contribute to the information presented. The annual event was originally launched by the LLLI Health Advisory Council to fill the need for educating their colleagues about breastfeeding.
