The Mississippi MILC League stands for Making an Impact in the Lactation Community. We offer free peer support groups for new and expectant mothers virtually or in-person in communities throughout Mississippi. Support groups are facilitated by certified lactation professionals, with most leagues meeting weekly. The MILC League is supported by the Mississippi Breastfeeding Coalition.
