A Must Read for Mom's and Mothers-to-be
Breast is best! This books gives a variety of helps and tips of breastfeeding. It not only goes into detail as to how but it is encouraging for those who struggle to breastfeed. It answers questions like, Am I producing enough milk?, Am I loosing my milk?, Breastfeeing and the working mom, Nursing multiples, False alarms of milk reduction, and a variety of other concerns one my have. I LOVED this book and continue to refer back to it throughout my nursing experience.
Excellent Reference for Nursing Mothers
Still as good as it was thirty five years ago when I nursed my first baby. Updated with current information - a must for all new and even not so new nursing mothers. Excellent resource guide, yet easy to read and understand.
Do not purchase if you want useful information.
I bought this book to help with breastfeeding questions I had that I felt were unanswered by the information out there. Unfortunately for such a large book this book does not have any more information than I was given with handouts and able to access on the web (well even less info than the web). It is unfortunate that they devote 2 entire chapters to the "CHOICE" of staying home with your baby instead of going back to work. Breastfeeding is difficult enough without a guilt trip on being a bad mom if you need to work. I also find it exceedingly stupid that there is a paragraph devoted to thrush (which my infant has and I wanted information on) and a full 2 pages devoted to a woman who was lost in the wilderness and SAVED her baby since she was breastfeeding. Really this book is only devoted to brainwashing you into breastfeeding, do not get it if you are looking for useful information. If you are looking for good breastfeeding information go to [...] - lots of useful info and links to info.
