Great book, accessible, good companion to "The Womanly Art..." (which is published via the La Leche League). Handy guide to have when breastfeeding, esp. for the first time around. On the required reading list for ALACE (Association of Labor Assistants and Childbirth Educators).

This is an awesome resource for breast feeding mothers! Out of all the baby books I read before having my first child, this was by far the most helpful. I referred back to it through the 12 months I breastfed my first child and 11 months I breastfed my second child.

This book is everything the previous reviews say it is. I found it to be the best reference book of all the ones I had. If you aren't breastfeeding, give it to someone you know who is going to!

BEST book I came across for nursing/breastfeeding. It answered SO many of my questions and found it as first time mom about 3 months into nursing (after reading a few other books on topic). Wished I would have had it from the beginning. I buy this for every new mother I know (that is interested in breastfeeding). WONDERFUL resource!!!

My favorite nursing reference book! I like it much better than the LLL one. It is non-judgmental, supportive, and immensely useful. It was my bible while nursing.

3rd edition of an excellent breastfeeding guide. Helps mothers solve most common breastfeeding challenges. A new edition was published in 2005, but this remains an excellent resource.

This is an comprehensive book on breastfeeding basics. It was recommended in the breastfeeding class I took. It does not cover everything there is to know, but it touches on all the main topics to consider regarding newborns to toddlers.

The hospital gave me a small abridged booklet from this book and it was immensely helpful with my second baby (second time around nursing), so with my third I'm getting the whole book for reference. It was very helpful.
