Love this book, a must for all new nursing moms!:
If you're going to use any book as a reference for breast feeding, this one should be it. It is really great and very informative. I even liked this book better than the one published by the Le Leche League and better than the info in the What to Expect When You're Expecting. This book is user friendly, spoken in plain language, not overwhelming or intimidating for the reader. Helps to make breastfeeding so much easier and less stressful.

this book and [...] saved me!!

The most helpful book I own:
I bought several books about breastfeeding prior to my daughter's birth. I read them all, and paid little attention to this book, since it didn't offer "simple solutions" and "foolproof plans." After my baby was born, I found that learning to breastfeed was neither simple nor foolproof. For me and my baby, it was frustrating and sometimes difficult. This book accepted having a difficult start as a reality, and addressed all of the roadblocks that we encountered with our first weeks of breastfeeding.... more info
Valuable book for Breastfeeding Moms!:
I found this book to be very useful. The appendix of drugs that are safe to take while breastfeeding is invaluable when you are sick, but scared to take anything for fear of hurting your baby. This book has informative sections on latching baby on, solutions to common problems such as sore nipples, as well as information on newborn jaundice. I would recommend this book for any breastfeeding or pregnant mom!
