A Woman's Guide to Breastfeeding,. Lots of supportive answers for the very first days of breastfeeding (proper latching on for baby, positioning, etc.). AAP.

AAP article on breastfeeding.

Ten Steps to Support Parents' Choice for Breastfeeding. Pamphlet from the Breastfeeding Promotion in Pediatric Office Practices program. The initial program registered 1,000 pediatricians nationwide who were willing to commit themselves to breastfeeding support and education. Those who enrolled received a complete kit of information (questions to address at each visit, tracking charts, and much more), including pamphlets to place in their office waiting rooms, letting their patients know about their commitment to breastfeeding promotion.

Breastfeeding Promotion in Physicians' Office Practices.

Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk

There is also a new publication, which isn't just a pamphlet but a whole book: "New Mother's Guide to Breastfeeding." The book can be ordered for $13.95, but they do offer some sample pages online as well: http://www.aap.org/pubserv/breastfdbook.htm

Since the AAP has a whole department on breastfeeding, you can go to the Academy's website (www.aap.org) and do a search under the word "breastfeeding," and you will find additional links to more initiatives and publications.
