LLL of Delaware was founded in .

Julie Boozer (Pioneer) ~ In the sixties, even though there was an active Nursing Mothers Organization in northern Delaware, there was little or no support for families of breastfed babies in the middle or southern parts of the state. As an experienced Leader with a special interest in older nurslings, I’d planned to retire when Bob and I moved to Delaware in 1970. At the urging of a local pediatrician, Dr. Walter Omans, I “came out” of retirement and began holding LLL series meetings in our living room. As with a healthy plant in a very fertile field, LLL grew by leaps and bounds, with new Leaders being prepared and Groups splitting to better meet the needs of families hungry for the fellowship and support of League- style parenting. Delaware was now on the growing list of states offering LLL support to families of breastfed babies.
