Hi Lisa,
I completely agree, and I definitely needed that also, and we can always use
that actually.  You might contact your local health department and look into
the WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselor program.  You might be able to
volunteer, or work with a lactation consultant in the health department.  I
hear great things about the Texas WIC breastfeeding support.

Hope that helps,
Sonya in VA
