Good On-line Resources for Nursing Moms

Have a question about nursing in the middle of the night and can't ask a friend? Need to know how to get ready to go back to work and continue breastfeeding? Ready to wean and have no idea how to get your one-year-old to sleep at night without mama time? Doing a web search often leads one to fluff articles and comment boards full of panic and devoid of fact. When you need an answer to pressing questions, these are good resources to have bookmarked.

This detailed site is filled with clear answers about nursing and nutrition. It also links to research and other informative articles and has good advice for teaching "breastfeeding manners" and for figuring out how much milk you need to express for the workday.

La Leche League International is the main source for information and advocacy about breastfeeding. The site has a lot of information--maybe even too much for the way it is organized. But they have it all--answers for nursing moms about housework, traveling, and working.

Kaiser Permanente
Since this is my health care provider, this is my go-to place for most health questions. It sometimes gives too obvious information for my taste--the breastfeeding section starts off with the question "What is breastfeeding?"
