Breastfeeding videos and helpful info « Back to Group Discussions

[tinams8]

I thought it might be nice if we had a thread where we share useful links, book recommendations, or other info about breastfeeding.  Even with close to 4 years of it under my belt, it's been a while for me so I have been checking out the new studies and there is so much more out there!   Please add anything you want to share. 

This video is really interesting, it's called Maximizing Milk Production With Hands-on Pumping.  Helpful for any of us who might end up with a preemie or NICU babe, latch issues, nipple damage, etc.  I think this also looks like it would be great for preventing or helping plugged ducts.

I worked as an IBCLC for the last few years before starting midwifery school.  My favorite breastfeeding resource websites:

• For evidenced-based info on anything and everything breastfeeding http://kellymom.com/
• Good info on solving breastfeeding issues, with a lot of good info on foods that promote lactation  http://mobimotherhood.org/MM/default.aspx
• More info on supply: http://lowmilksupply.org/
• Info on breastfeeding after breast surgeries  http://www.bfar.org/index.shtml
• While almost all medications are ok to take while breastfeeding, Dr. Hale has the BEST info on what is okay, what's not, and what to look out for in your infant.  You can call them to ask questions or find some info on the website. http://www.infantrisk.com/
• There are some good videos of babies latching further down on this page: http://www.breastfeedingonline.com/newman.shtml

I recently borrowed this book from my midwife and found it FULL of good info.
