Breastfeeding.com is an
easy-to-use resource for consumer and professional alike. It is a 24/7
virtual community center where breastfeeding mothers and expectant parents
gather to learn and share experiences about breastfeeding. Here they find
practical advice and support in their earliest attempts to breastfeed, and
the encouragement they need to continue breastfeeding successfully as long
as they and their babies desire to do so.
Breastfeeding.com
functions as an on-line magazine that mothers can visit regularly to
problem solve, learn about the latest breastfeeding research, chat with
fellow nursing moms, locate a lactation consultant in their area, or watch
a video demonstrating correct latching-on and positioning. Overall, the
site provides a wealth of information for the new or experienced nursing
mom.
Breastfeeding.com is now backed by an impressive board of breastfeeding
