"Breast or Bottle?
One of New Zealand's most popular online parenting resources,
Breastmates.co.nz has recently launched a new-look website, making
accessing breastfeeding advice and accessories even easier than
ever. The new site contains more than 250 articles on infant
feeding and related topics, including videos, paragraphs, and
demonstrations contributed by midwives, lactation experts, and
mothers alike. Breastmates founder Frances McInnes says the
site is not just for breastfeeding mums, it also has
non-judgemental advice for formula feeding mums aswell. "I
wanted my website to consist of honest information to prepare
people with the truth, and not unrealistically high expectations.
I can be the person that tells you, 'Yes, breastfeeding is
hard, bit if you can't do it then forget the guilt trip.'"
