La Leche League of Singapore
is no longer active as of 15 April 2008.
 
What happened? Will LLL of SG return?

Kelly, the only active Leader in the LLLSG Group has a two-year old daughter, Jillian, who has recently been diagnosed with a rare type of kidney cancer, Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor. Jillian went through an operation to remove the kidney and the tumor in early April. As the cancer has spread to Stage 3, she has begun a treatment plan of chemotherapy and radiation. Treatment is expected to stretch over 7-12 months. Kelly and her family will be in and out of hospital during this period. Kelly is Jill's primary caregiver.

In view of this situation, Kelly's family needs take precedence. It remains to be seen if she can reactivate the Group or if a new Leader will restart it. You can check this website for updates.

Alternative sources for breastfeeding telephone help are BMSG and the NUH Neonatal dept.
