I've tried to keep these links current, but many other issues vie for my attention. Things change rapidly on the WWW, so some of
the links may well be inaccurate. Likewise, this list can't be perfect or exhaustive.
I've posted these links at face value.
I reserve the editorial right to be selective, and must exercize some
arbitrary judgement to keep the size of the links list manageable.
Placement of a link on these pages does not constitute endorcement
of it's products or content nor does absence of a link necessarily
represent rejection of that site's content
If
you feel I've missed important links for lactation experts, have a more up-to-date link for any of them or find any other problem, please let me know via e-mail to Lindaj@bflrc.com
