Web sites for families

Friends and relatives, pregnancy and child care books, magazines and most recently the Internet provide answers to commonly asked questions.

On-line resources for new parents are growing every day. There are many agencies and organizations whose mission is to offer information and support.

As always, be an informed consumer of Internet sources of information. It's wise not to assume the reliability of the information simply because it's on-line.

This information is offered to supplement, not substitute for, the information and care you receive from your local health care provider.
