Resource: Downloadable Breastfeeding Pamphlets

741 Shares

Hale Publishing provides breastfeeding books and materials such as Dr. Thomas Hale's ever-popular Medications and Mothers' Milk. It also created eight printable handouts that are perfect for printing and sharing with doula clients and students in your childbirth classes:

A New Breastfeeding Mother Needs…
Sore Nipples – Engorgement
If Your Baby is Not Gaining Weight
When to Call Your Doctor
Breastfeeding and Working
Breastfeeding and Drugs
Breastfeeding and Traveling
Becoming a Dad

These pamphlets used to be available on the Hale Publishing website, but it appears they were removed. I was able to find them on another California-based Organization's website called BreastfeedLA. In addition to these eight handouts, there are several more created by the South Los Angeles Health Projects WIC, complete with valuable information and graphics. These handouts are also available in Spanish. In all, there is a wealth of information on this site.
