Top Ten Breastfeeding Forums and Message Boards
If you’re reading a breastfeeding blog you’re probably already pretty web savvy, but I still thought I’d highlight some of the various forums and message boards out there for the support of breastfeeding mothers. There are boards for adoptive breastfeeding, pumping, breastfeeding while pregnant, tandem nursing–you name it. Some are moderated and some even have an expert weigh in occasionally. I don’t have a preference for or affiliation with any of them. With plenty of choices, it’s just a matter of finding one that’s a fit for you!
1. Adoptive Breastfeeding Resource Website forums
2. Australian Breastfeeding Association breastfeeding forum
3. BabyCenter breastfeeding boards
4. Breastfeeding.com message boards
5. iVillage breastfeeding boards
6. Kellymom.com breastfeeding and parenting message boards
7. Motheringdotcommune (MDC) Mothering magazine breastfeeding and parenting forums
8. ProMoM (Promotion of Mother’s Milk, Inc.) discussion forums
9. La Leche League mother-to-mother forums
10. Thomas W. Hale, Ph.D., Breastfeeding and Medications forum — anyone can read the messages posted about lactation and drugs, but only health care professionals (lactation consultants, LLL leaders, physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and other professionals in this field) can post new questions for Dr. Hale.

I know an excellent site for induced lactation/adoptive breastfeeding that you left out.
You’re missing “the” induced lactation site here: http://www.asklenore.info/forums/ubbthreads.php

Thanks Melissa. I’ve written about induced lactation and the Ask Lenore resources before:

but I didn’t realize that Ask Lenore also had message boards.
