[edit] Books
General Breastfeeding Texts
Breastfeeding Your Baby by Sheila Kitzinger: I found this to be a nice general breastfeeding book. The pictures are beautiful.
The Womanly Art of Breasfeeding by La Leche League International: I really enjoyed their section title 'At home with Baby'. Has some great advice and covered a lot of my initial concerns.
Sleeping
No Cry Sleep Solution: I went from waking up every 40 mins to 1 hour with my seven month old, to sleeping through the night in a 2 week period. I highly recommend this book if your baby is waking often. Provides advice for everyone from crib to co-sleeping.
[edit] Organizations
La Leche League: Is a support group that (probably) meets once a month is your area. Great for information, support and meeting other breastfeeding moms
