The appendix of drugs that are safe to take while breastfeeding is invaluable when you are sick, but scared to take anything for fear of hurting your baby. I would recommend this book for any breastfeeding or pregnant mom. I found this book to be very useful. This book has informative sections on latching baby on, solutions to common problems such as sore nipples, as well as information on newborn jaundice.

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. Breastfeeding is the most amazing thing I have done in my life and this book alone is the help that I needed. I can happily report that thanks to this book alone I have been nursing my baby gril for 8 months without a hitch. The Mayo Clinic and Sears Baby Book are the only three references I use. (Even tonight I turned to read about sleeping issues at the 8-month stage.I felt reassured). I am a first time mother and the only woman in my circle of family and friends to ever considering breastfeeding. Whenever I might see a problem coming this book had prepared me for it and taught me how to avoid it.

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

Cons- Book does not contain everything on breastfeeding 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. Pros- A great "all in one" resource. Someone gave me this book 3 weeks into breastfeeding for the first time and I wished I had it before the baby was born. The more information the better and this book is a great start.

Particularly helpful is the quite comprehensive drug appendix. 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.
