I am an IBCLC and LLL Leader in Tokyo Japan. I was away in Nagoya over the 
weekend listening to Ros Escott and Karolyn Vaughan speak to IBCLCs here, 
and missed the request for Japanese information here. Linda Pohl emailed me 
privately anyway, but just in case anyone else on LACTNET needs to give 
Japanese mothers in their community some resouces in Japanese, I will repeat 
here the information I emailed Linda offlist.

Please suggest to Japanese mothers (in whichever country they live in) to 
access www.llljapan.com  for La Leche League information, groups and support 
in Japanese. There is also an online group for Japanese mothers through that 
page.

See http://jalc-net.jp  for the web site for the Japanese Association of 
Lactation Consultants, where mothers can access FAQs on common breastfeeding 
issues in Japan.

Breastfeeding I can do that, by Sue Cox, is called Watashi no akachan: oppai 
noto in Japanese.

The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding is called Dare demo dekiru bonyuu ikuji in 
Japanese

There is also the Baby Book by Dr Sears, same name in Japanese.

And there is the AAP's New mother's guide to breastfeeding  called Bonyuu 
ikuji no subete.

These are available from www.amazon.co.jp which is all in Japanese and will 
ship outside Japan.

If you are contacted by English speaking mothers moving to or living in 
Japan, they are wecome to get in touch with me or with one of the English 
speaking LLL groups in Tokyo.

 Best wishes

Iona Macnab LLB IBCLC

Tokyo Japan
