Support Network

I like it when other mom's share useful information with me.  I've relied heavily on two great resources at times during my breastfeeding journey.  La Leche League (LLL) and kellymom (kellymom.com). 

I like both for different reasons.  LLL is a physical group and has been a good way for me to meet some other moms who live in my general area.  The leaders for my chapter are amazing and know more than I could have imagined was possible to know about breast feeding.  My mom was very active in LLL when she was breast feeding and really encouraged that I find a group close to where we live.  I love having a physical connection to some like minded women that unfortunately no virtual group could ever replace.

Kellymom has been an amazing go to for quick answers to questions that I've had.  I've spent countless hours reading the forums during middle of the night feeds and have learned a lot through the questions and advice given to other moms.  They have an amazing collection of factual advice on different topics and often provide several sources for their information.  I believe that kellymom is one of the best online breast feeding resources available.
