Breastfeeding Bookmarks

golfingdarwinfish · October 2014

If anyone has bookmarked any of the posts by our resident breastfeeding gurus, can you please post the links here? I am trying to aggregate the posts in a single BFing sticky. If there are other BFing resources you find helpful, please post them for inclusion in the sticky.

The same will be done for formula feeding once conversation re: FFing picks up.

Thanks!

I don't consider myself a BFing guru, but I did post a link on how to get more milk from pumping that I found very useful. Manually expressing while pumping also helps relieve engorgement pain for when your milk comes in.

I was having minor latch issues and @Emerald27‌ introduced me to the concept of laid-back breastfeeding.

Found this helpful pdf via the La Leche League website:

Also just another nice position for feeding when possible.

Kellymom.com is my favorite advice website. Evidence-based and links to the studies it cites in each article.

This a million times. I spent so much MOTN nursing time reading that site last time. It really helps reassure you as to the huge range that is "normal".

Here's the increasing milk supply thread started by @theresat858:

ETA: Shoot, not sure if the link works since I copy-pasted while mobile and the Bump can be weird on my phone. Sorry :-/

Would anyone be interested in a weekly "BFing questions" thread, where people can post concerns, questions, or struggles and hear how other moms have overcome those challenges or are working through them? That could be a great way we can support and encourage each other.

Yes, I would love that! As a FTM-to-be the whole breastfeeding thing is making me most nervous about what's to come. A check-in or support group would be fantastic!

I second. Would love this. Love reading the breastfeeding forum as well but it would be nice to have our own weekly here too in O14.
