Modesto Area Resources

An attempt has been made to compile a list of the best resources for pregnant and new mothers in our area. Many organizations and businesses have been left out in the making, if you know of someone who should be added to this list, please email here. Thank you!!

La Leche League

As a mother and a doula, I cannot recommend this group enough. The help and support mothers receive through simple mother-to-mother interaction is unbeatable. Meetings are held once a month, and focus on specific topics, but all questions and concerns will be covered. Women are encouraged to attend at all stages of motherhood. Children are welcome at meetings. See the Stanislaus County website here: www.LaLecheLeague.Mother-Birth.com. See the International LLL website here: www.Lalecheleague.org
