5 stars The only guide that you need and will grow with your baby's needs
I am a first time mother and the only woman in my circle of family and friends to ever considering breastfeeding. While expecting I read this book cover-to-cover. I knew what problems to expect and was able the head them off at the pass. I can happily report that thanks to this book alone I have been nursing my baby gril for 8 months without a hitch. Whenever I might see a problem coming this book had prepared me for it and taught me how to avoid it. Breastfeeding is the most amazing thing I have done in my life and this book alone is the help that I needed. (Even tonight I turned to read about sleeping issues at the 8-month stage...I felt reassured.) The Mayo Clinic and Sears Baby Book are the only three references I use.


5 stars Very helpful
This book was so helpful to me. I took it with me to the hospital and referenced it so many times during the first week it was unbelievable. I recently had a clogged milk duct and read what to do in the book. I then called a lactation consultant and what they told me was exactly what I had already been doing from the book. Very helpful; would highly recommend to anyone who really wants to breastfeed.


5 stars Buy This Book if You Plan to Breastfeed
Someone gave me this book 3 weeks into breastfeeding for the first time and I wished I had it before the baby was born! Breastfeeding is such a personal, complex and at times challenging process. This book is a great resource that walks you through many questions you will have about breastfeeding. The more information the better and this book is a great start.

Pros- A great "all in one" resource
Cons- Book does not contain everything on breastfeeding


5 stars The MOST COMPREHENSIVE Breastfeeding Resource!
This is the only book you need to breastfeed your baby. Eleven months later I still open this book often to find information on ALL topics. Particularly helpful is the quite comprehensive drug appendix.


5 stars Great book!
The lactation consultant at my hospital's breastfeeding class recommended this book. EXCELLENT INFORMATION for a nervous new mom. Now I'll just have to see if it all works in 4 weeks when my baby comes!
