Breastfeeding.com – The webs largest breastfeeding content portal

Hey, mamas! Did you know August is National Breastfeeding Month? For such a great cause, we've whipped up a fabulous PSA video packed with celebs and real moms who all have one thing in common: they breastfed their babies and are proud of it! So check out the clip, share it with friends, and help us spread the word that breastfeeding doesn't suck!

breastfeeding: getting started

Breastfeeding.com is the place to go for info on breastfeeding, breastfeeding questions and answers, concerns about breastfeeding, and more. Whatever the age of your infant, we've got answer – we'll tell you about breastfeeding preemies, newborns and older babies. You’ll also learn about preparing to breastfeed, latching and positioning, growth spurts and cycles, milk supply issues and any other breastfeeding issues. We'll fill you in on all the products and supplies you need, and let you know what medications, herbs and supplements, foods and drinks and activities are ok when you're breastfeeding… and which ones you should avoid. We'll also answer any nutrition questions you have for yourself or for baby. Get the inside scoop on what products and supplies you need (and what you can skip). Learn what a breastfed baby’s poop will be like, and what kind of weight gain to expect from your breastfed baby. We'll also help you deal with any tough issues, like illness or surgery (for you or baby) or any type of allergy. And, if you have a special needs child, multiples or an adopted child, we’ll walk you through those breastfeeding processes as well. Don’t worry if you won't be home 24/7 — we also have tons of info about breastfeeding for working mamas. We'll teach you how to pump, and let you know how to deal with any issues that might come up during the process. Once it's time to wean, we'll be here to guide you through that entire process as well – all the way to the bottle. (Unless, of course, you're looking into extended breastfeeding, which we've also got info on.)
