 Excellent book! June 10, 2008
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
Must have for mothers who will breastfeed May 9, 2008
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 March 31, 2008
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.
 Don't bother March 27, 2008

This book should be titled "Rah Rah Breastfeeding!". There was too much effort spent convincing you to breastfeed, rather than presenting useful information for nursing mothers. It's also filled with annoyingly sappy stories about mothers who choose to nurse.
Just in case you think I'm anti-breastfeeding, not so! I'm still nursing my little one at 15 months, but I can't say this book was any help at all. The La Leche League website was far more informative and FREE. Don't waste your money.
 Somewhat helpful January 26, 2008
I trust anything from this company. I didn't find this book told me all that much new information, and I recommend reading it before the baby is born because its a little much to try to muddle through in those first few weeks!
