Hsien at Genetics and Health:
At Inside Motherhood:

- Jean lists resources for researching which medications are safe for breastfeeding mothers
Hsien at Play Library:
- Lists nursing pads and nursing shirts and bras among her “baby necessities” although some commenters disagree

For a little fun from the celebrity gossip corner:
