My girls are 6 and 4 1/2, so i'm a little bit out of the loop on the whole bf thing. I checked all my old board links, and of all of them only the ParentsPlace one is still going, and I kinda remember it being my least favorite board. So, can anyone pass along some of their favorite support boards? My SIL is having a rough time with her newborn, and I just want to make sure she gets as much help as she can. Our local LC's here aren't the best, I know I always got much better advice from some of the forums!

when DS was a baby I visited http://breastfeeding.com/ They had a forum, but I cant seem to find the link to it on their site. The site itself has a lot of great info though.

For all the flaws of ParentsPlace.com, the ladies on the BF board, really do know their stuff. I never would have succeeded without them. Twice! (Middle child was a breeze to nurse.)

You guys are awsome, many thanks!

Owen is just under I week old, I still think she can do this with a little bit of help.

mothering.com can be a bit rough sometimes, but just reading the threads there would help a lot I bet.

Ditto this opinion. I was a new mom without ANY baby experience or family support nearby. The site was a Godsend! I also frequented the forums at Babycenter.com.
I don't know how they are now, but between the Age designated boards & the various ones on breastfeeding, they also helped to reinforce confidence too.

There's always http://www.laleche.org/ that can provide local assistance information if she'd like to have real live people to talk with

I love the encouraging/supportive ladies at the diaperpin.com site. They have a board dedicated to breastfeeding support: http://www.diaperpin.com/forum04/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=30.
