I am definitely not one of those people big into the social networking phenomenon. Despite that fact, I tend to visit Facebook once or twice a day. Why? Because it turns out it’s a useful resource to find recent articles and news stories related to breastfeeding. While I am not advocating Facebook as the only place to get your information, there are some useful and reputable breastfeeding resources who share information via Facebook. Check out the following links: ideally, if you are logged onto your Facebok account, this will take you to their Facebook page where you can “like” them if you are so inclined:

Once again, bear in mind that these are not links to webpages but to Facebook pages. Some of these pages are more likely to post links to breastfeeding in the news, some are more chatty, some are more active than others. Take a look at each page and decide for yourself if it is something you want to "like." There are thousands of more pages out there; hopefully I have given you a good place to start.
