In our Community
La Leche League
La Leche League offers breastfeeding moms groups and individual phone/e-mail help.  I highly recommend attending meetings regularly before and after your baby is born.  This is a great way to prevent problems before they begin and resolve issues before they become serious.
 
WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselors
About 50% of mothers in Missouri qualify for WIC services.  One of those services is the Peer Counselor Program which provides breastfeeding information and support to mothers who qualify for WIC by trained Peer Counselors who are also WIC recipients.  Some mothers will also qualify for breast pumps.

Cotton Babies
Cotton Babies is a local retail store with locations in South County and West County.  Although their primary focus is cloth diapering, they also sell and rent breast pumps and other breastfeeding supplies.

Online
General Breastfeeding
La Leche League International
La Leche League's website provides excellent general breastfeeding information.  It also offers mothers' personal stories by category - these can be a great source of support and encouragement to read about others who have been through what you are now going through.
 
kellymom
Although a wide variety of breastfeeding topics are covered, they are presented in great detail - really geared more toward the breastfeeding professional but some mothers may find the detailed, research-based information helpful as well.
 
Dr. Jack Newman - info
Dr. Jack Newman - video

General breastfeeding information and also helpful videos teaching latch and the use of specialized breastfeeding tools.
 
Common Sense Breastfeeding

General breastfeeding information in a supportive voice.
Working and Breastfeeding
Work and Pump
A great resource for breastfeeding mothers returning to work outside the home.
 
Colorado Breastfeeding Coalition
The Colorado Breastfeeding Coalition has put together 3 excellent videos on working and breastfeeding.

Low Milk  Production
Low Milk Supply
Information for mothers who are having difficulty producing enough milk.  Even better than the website is the book "The Breastfeeding Mothers Guide to Making More Milk" by the website's authors.
 
Breastfeeding After Breast and Nipple Surgery
This is a special circumstance in which mother's milk production is impacted by previous breast or nipple surgery.
 
Adoptive Breastfeeding /
Induced Lactation /
Relactation
Breastfeeding without Birthing
This is your go-to breastfeeding website for adoptive and intended mothers who want to breastfeed.  It contains general information about breastfeeding without birthing as well as a comprehensive resource library.  (This is my other site, especially devoted to breastfeeding without birthing mamas!)
  
AskLenore
This site contains the Newman-Goldfarb protocols for inducing lactation.  Adoptive, intended, and relactating mothers may find the information helpful.  However, it is very specific and induced lactation can be achieved by various approaches in addition to this one - ask me for help in finding an approach that works for your individual situation.
 
Creating a Family
Creating a Family is a nonprofit organization offering support and information for infertility and adoption.  Their page on breastfeeding and adoption & surrogacy contains a wealth of wonderful breastfeeding information for adoptive and intended mothers.
