La
Leche League International: Breastfeeding Information
La Leche League is the foremost organization for
information and support on breast feeding. Their site
contains articles, frequently asked questions on breast
feeding, and information on local support groups.
How to Breastfeed
Dr. William Sears and Martha Sears RN whose sensitive and
informative books on parenting are widely used by parents
and professionals authored this detailed article on
breastfeeding. The paper provides a complete compendium
of information to teach prospective mothers the skills
they will need to nurse their new infants. Included are
photographs and diagrams showing how the breasts produce
milk, and a step-by-step description of positioning the
baby and encouraging the infant to latch-on to the
breast.
Earth's
Best Organic Baby Food
This commercial site provides a wealth of information on
feeding of solids. Articles are directed at parents and
their questions and needs. The Baby and Toddler Nutrition
section is particularly helpful since it archives all
questions that have been asked and answered by a
dietitian and provides a series of informational articles related to infant and toddler feeding. A search feature lets you find what you are
looking for.

Satter Associates
Ellyn Satter has always reflected the underlying themes
of New Visions’ mealtimes programs in her writing.
In this collection of short papers she states:
"Feeding a child is
about the connection between parent and child
about trusting or controlling
about accepting or rejecting."
