Which organization was the first to offer mother-to-mother breastfeeding support?

  1. UNICEF

  2. Planned Parenthood

  3. World Health Organization

  4. La Leche League

The correct answer is: La Leche League

La Leche League was the first organization to offer mother-to-mother breastfeeding support. La Leche League was founded in 1956 by seven women who wanted to provide information and support to other mothers who wanted to breastfeed. Through their efforts, La Leche League has become a renowned organization globally known for its mother-to-mother breastfeeding support, counseling, and education. The other organizations listed in the choices, such as UNICEF, Planned Parenthood, and World Health Organization, do important work in public health and reproductive rights, but they were not the first to offer mother-to-mother breastfeeding support.
