NMC believes it “takes a village“ to raise a child, and in that spirit, we've put together a list of other websites and materials that can help you make your breastfeeding experience the best one possible. The content of these materials is for informational purposes only; Nursing Mothers Counsel has no affiliation with any of these other organizations, and offers no endorsement.
