5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for breastfeeding mamas
Reviewed in Australia on 16 January 2017
Verified Purchase
This book is an excellent resource for breastfeeding mamas. Especially those who wish to practise a more attached style of parenting. I found the information about safe bed sharing and night nursing to be particularly helpful. In a world rich with information I actually found it difficult to find many resources from reputable sources on either of those topics. I find myself referring back to this book often, like speaking to a trusted friend or aunt (of which I have neither). I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breastfeeding book
Reviewed in the United States on 4 April 2024

I wish I found this book earlier! By the time I found it I was 6 months into my breastfeeding journey. Even though during that time I listened to podcasts and scoured YouTube and the internet about everything breastfeeding this book still had valuable information. It has tips for everything breastfeeding and includes stories to make you feel like you’re not alone. You can also skip around and focus on reading about what you need in the moment. I’m hoping to buy this for my cousin when she has her baby and would recommend it to anyone who is or is preparing to breastfeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative book to aid your breastfeeding journey
Reviewed in Spain on 28 November 2019
Verified Purchase
Bought as gift for my pregnant cousin. I had the last edition and found it really helped to read before baby was born. Yes you can find all this info fast online, but it's nice having a hard copy to reference and prepare / be informed before baby arrives and to trouble shoot issues when baby is here. Breastfeeding is tough, especially the first few weeks whilst establishing latch and supply. The more informed you are the better equipped you will be when dealing with latching issues, engorgment, mastitis, milk bleeps, etc. This book is extremely informative and provides practical information covering everything one will encounter from the beginning of your breastfeeding journey onwards. I highly recommend this book along with proper midwife/lactation consultant support when baby arrives.
