Gwynneth Jacobs is a volunteer group Leader for La Leche League South Africa. She is also a full-time working mother of two beautiful boys. She discovered the LLLSA Facebook group with her first child and loved reading everyone’s posts and information about breastfeeding. In time she trained as a breastfeeding peer counsellor and later as a Leader.

My baby girl cried a lot and I phoned Avrille every day for support. I attended her LLL meetings from the next month (May 1982) and never missed a meeting for years. LLLSA became our family's lifeline. Eventually, I also trained to become a LLL volunteer group Leader two years later.

Gwynneth is a Leader in Cape Town. She is passionate about supporting working moms and has served in various admin roles within LLLSA.

Nan, one of our longest serving leaders, is based in Gqeberha involved with the LLLSA group there as well as active on our Facebook group.
