Some Links on various topics

A mom-friend of mine was asking about what to say to a mother who was not interested in nursing. Sometimes when a person is resistant to the idea of nursing, it's hard to break through that barrier. The mom in question was expecting twins. So, I compiled a list of links with good information. I thought these were good enough to pass on.

All but one of these articles originates from La Leche League, my first go-to source for questions:

Here's a link about BF after a Cesarean birth:

Breastfeeding and work, showing the business case for breastfeeding, that nursing is actually good for the employer, too:

This is a great article written from a nursing mama  who is also  a practicing lawyer. It covers nursing on demand and folowing mother's instincts and baby's cues. After her article there is a note from her husband about what he went through in his evolution as a father:
