So Helpful to a New Mom: This book was a nursing lifesaver to me. I wanted to breastfeed but had no idea what to expect with my first. I literally remember sitting up and reading through it over and over while trying to learn to breastfeed our first son. The book encourages breastfeeding but that is what it is written for, plus AAP recommends breastfeeding. I have now nursed my first son until he was 13 months old and our second son until he was 14 months old and am due in 8 weeks with our 3rd son. I'm not sure what all the scientific research will show, but my son's have never needed to be on antibiotic and I've been a mommy for almost 4 years now. What I liked: -Clearly written -Supportive of breastfeeding mommies -Answered most of my questions -Concise, not a bunch of unnecessary information
Must have for mothers who will breastfeed: Whether you're going to be a first time mama or not, this is definitely a must have book for any questions you may have concerning breastfeeding. I got this book while I was still pregnant and read it before my daughter was born. It was a good thing I did because I certainly didn't have time to read once she was born!! It became a very handy reference on multiple occasions later on too.
Informative: This is probably the most informative and best book to read regarding breastfeeding. Extremely factual rather than entertaining. Excellent coverage on every topic that I could think of along with a great resource guide in the back. With my first born on the way, I am not comfortable with breastfeeding in public or breastfeeding into the toddler years - so all the information on that was a little too awkward for me. That's just a personal standpoint.
Great book!: I'm a nurse and still bought this book for when I first began breastfeeding my 1st child. It is great, informative, and to the point. Written by the experts themselves.
Excellent book!: I received this book from my son's Pediarician. It was helpful to make it through the beginning and is something everyone should have before making the breastfeeding/formula decision
