When you need to ask a question, or maybe just vent about breastfeeding concerns, is there a certain person you seem to rely on? Or is it a local group or maybe an online group like this one?

Here and kellymom. : )

I would probably seek out a few specific people from the group like Gina, Tabi, Sarah, Dayna, and a few others.

With my son, it was the wic office and looking back I see how they weren't that supportive... When I said I was weaning due to pumping issues, they didn't help with suggestions or anything, just set me up for formula vouchers.
With my daughter, it was a variety but kellymom and cafemom are the #1 places I go!

I really didn't have anyone to go to until I was already breastfeeding my 3rd and found CM. I didn't have any major issues though and now that I know more, I know I got really lucky with the first one and with the second I was fortunate to have a very breastfeeding supportive pediatrician (she's the one who suggested I "extended" breastfeed), so listening to her about eliminating dairy and nursing after 1 wasn't a bad thing :-)

Beyond cafemom and kellymom, I'm kind of digging Dr Jen right now (pediatrician and IBCLC Jenny Thomas). She has a breastfeeding book about to hit the shelves.
