Breastfeeding:    www.lalecheleague.org    The mother organization of all breastfeeding, and a mother lode     of information and resources.    www.iblce.org    This site has a section to help you locate a lactation consultant.    www.ilca.org    The International Lactation Consultant Association.    http://www.phila.gov/health/units/mcfh/BF/bf.html    Nikki was the first lactation consultant to pull all the information    together to create this resource directory for the Philadelphia    Department of Public Health, in 1992.

Childbirth Education:
       www.BirthingtheFuture.com
       Suzanne Arms' website that says it all for me

       www.BirthingFromWithin.com
       Women and families can use childbirth classes to discover
       their beliefs about birth, to express their fears and concerns,
       and to choose the perfect environment to be able to open safely
       and let the baby come out. Women already have the knowledge
       in their bodies to birth. When they pick the best environment
       and a practitioner that they trust, their body's wisdom can do
       the rest. 
       You can find a childbirth educator near you from this
       website, which also features a message board for parents.

      has information about finding therapists in your location, as
      well as resources (videos, books, and other products) and
      a marvelous smorgasbord of other therapies (such as
      Lymphatic Drainage, Zero-Balancing, and animal therapies).

      My husband. I am very proud of him. He is happy in his
      work, playing music and making violins sound great and look
      good.  His latest joys now are teaching our daughter, Clelia Stefanini, to play
      fiddle and developing his solo career as a singer and instrumentalist.
