I didn't pick up this book until my baby was three months old and I had already been back to work for two months!! If you are pregnant and planning to breastfeed, read this book now! I stumbled across it when I was about to give up breastfeeding - my hubby was not very supportive, pumping at work wasn't seeming to keep up my milk supply and I was begining rely more and more heavily on supplimenting with formula. This book was a lifesaver! A month later, my supply is once again well established and my confidence is back threefold! I no longer bat an eye when someone snidely says to give it up, formula is the exact same thing... It is not even close! I know breastmilk is best for my baby and no one is going to take that away from me. All the information and support you need to confidently and SUCCESSFULLY breastfeed your little one is right here in this book. I highly recommend!
very informative book September 29, 2008
I bought this book in lieu of attending classes on breastfeeding. While it IS a book and not an actual instructor, I feel pretty confident about what I need to know to properly breastfeed my baby. There is a lot of information in this book on techniques, how to deal with breastfeeding a premie, continuing to breastfeed after going back to work, when to wean, what solid foods to start the baby on, even a bit of behavioral info. I found it very well rounded and easy to understand. It's going to be one of those books I'll be referencing frequently just before my son is due, but won't feel like I have to look at the pictures while I'm trying to breastfeed my son. I would recommend this book to any mother wanting to breastfeed her baby, whether she's done it before or not.

This book is a must have for 1st time breastfeeding moms and dads. It answers every question you could possibly have. It gives you schedules of what is to come and is full of helpful tips. My favorite is a nursing corner. There are a few things that were a little to extreme for me but I just read it and thought it wasn't my thing but maybe it would be great for someone else. Great book!

As a Board Certified Lactation Consultant this is the book I recommend most to my new parent clients. It is easy to read and full of the most accurate information available to have a successful breastfeeding experience.
