ACNM web site offers breast-feeding resources
Help women overcome barriers to breast-feeding with information from a new on-line resource, www.GotMom.org, developed by the Washington, DC-based American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM).
The web site features information on why "breast is best," as well as outlines the ABCs of breast-feeding. It also addresses concerns often posed to clinicians during discussions of breast-feeding. Resource listings and recommended reading materials are included, as well as the latest news and research on breast-feeding. Information also is included for employers to help support breast-feeding mothers.
ACNM has partnered with several government and nongovernmental agencies to ensure that the information is relevant for women who choose breast-feeding. Future plans include a Spanish-language version of the web site.
