I am a member of this group.

Breastfeeding

He has several publications on breastfeeding, and in 2000 published a help guide for professionals and mothers on breastfeeding, called The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers. In 2005, he and others brought out a DVD for breastfeeding called Dr. Jack Newman's Visual Guide to Breastfeeding. He is a breastfeeding guru.
  • was founded to give information and encouragement, mainly through personal help, to all mothers who want to breastfeed their babies. While complementing the care of the physician and other health care professionals, it recognizes the unique importance of one mother helping another to perceive the needs of her child and to learn the best means of fulfilling those needs.
  • is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve public health by transforming our culture: making breastfeeding the norm through education, advocacy, and collaboration. Most of MBC's activities involve helping health care providers support and promote breastfeeding. Their goal is help providers prevent breastfeeding problems, and recognize them and solve them easily should they occur. All of their materials are evidence-based, are free from commercial bias, and can be downloaded from their website at no cost.

  • (PSI) was founded in 1987 by Jane Honikman and is headquartered in Santa Barbara, California. The purpose of the organization is to increase awareness among public and professional communities about the emotional changes that women experience during pregnancy and postpartum. Approximately 15% of all women will experience postpartum depression following the birth of a child. Up to 10% will experience depression or anxiety during pregnancy. When the mental health of the mother is compromised, it affects the entire family.
