Welcome to the January carnival of breastfeeding! Be sure to check out the other participating bloggers' posts at the bottom of this one.
This month's theme is favorite webpages and blog posts. My list consists of places I frequently send moms for information on specific breastfeeding topics. I print some out to use as handouts, too.
Many of these are from kellymom.com, my favorite resource on the web for breastfeeding issues:
Nipple shields - especially helpful on how to stop using them
Weaning from formula supplements
Extended breastfeeding fact sheet
Is this cheating? There are a few posts on this blog I recommend to moms frequently:
Being told your baby is too big or too small? Make sure you're using the new growth chartsTaking a bottle (with a video I love)
Brrr...ouch! It's the season for Raynaud's
And here are a few other web resources I recommend a lot:
LactMed (for medication questions) - National Institutes of Health
Oversupply/overactive let down - Texas WIC
Tongue tie - American Academy of Pediatrics
Inducing lactation - Ask Lenore
