Customer Review: There are three general approaches to breastfeeding books: advocacy, empathy, and answers. This book uses the two former approaches, with an emphasis on empathy--the author understands our frustration and confusion. But word for word her main goal is to convince us that breastfeeding is best, as if... more info
Customer Review: I purchased this book because "What To Expect" didn't answer alot of my questions regarding breastfeeding and my own OB/GYN, while supportive of the idea, simply didn't know. Dr. Sears and his wife have nursed eight children, so their book comes not only from medical knowledge but also from personal... more info
Customer Review: I recommend this book to women I know who are going back to work and want to continue breastfeeding. It makes a seeming daunting experience seem a bit less impossible.

Customer Review: A friend lent me this book when I was pregnant and, now that I've had my baby, I've found it useful as a source of information but was a bit surprised by the hardline stance it takes on breastfeeding. There is no gray area -- I really felt like this book told me "you're either a good mother who... more info
Customer Review: For new mothers considering breastfeeding, this is a wonderful book for the new moms-to be like myself. Not only does it give the basics of how to breastfeed but why your body does the amazing things it does!! It has made me feel (already) better prepared for September (my due date) and beyond. I... more info
Customer Review: This book is great if you want to hear about the benefits of breastfeeding, the La Leche League philosophy and if you have no problems breastfeeding. If you require substantive information, such as storage, pumping, lactation research info or more importantly, what to do in case of breastfeeding... more info
