Our Leaders

Amanda

Amanda accredited as a Leader in 2024 but has been an active member of the LLL San Antonio group since 2022.  She first joined the Facebook group as a pregnant, first time mom and began to attend in-person meetings.  Her nursing journey with her son started out with a lot of difficulties due to his oral ties and body tension from birth.  With help from La Leche League Leaders and medical professionals, Amanda was able to nurse him for over 21 months.  The continued mother-to-mother support throughout her nursing and motherhood journey, through both the highs and the lows, and seeing other moms have success with a little bit of help and encouragement led Amanda to become a Leader.
