  • I have this book on a recommendation from my doctor and I’m so glad I read it. Breastfeeding is something I was really nervous about, but I feel more equipped now that I’ve read this. Jan 19, 2020

  • Highly recommend. So helpful for the first time mom who wants to breastfeed and get it right. I will keep this book forever. Apr 22, 2019

  • Helpful, though as a first-time mom hands-on experience from other mothers is the most helpful. Jul 08, 2016

  • This book is a must read for any new mother, or mother that has not breastfed previously. Jan 25, 2016

  • Good one. :) Dec 04, 2015

  • was worth the read, but never really referenced once baby was born Oct 28, 2014

  • Breastfeeding is complicated. Reading this book during pregnancy will keep you super informed about what to expect and when to worry. A must-have for any new mom. Oct 27, 2014

    Particularly appreciate the appendix on medication safety with breastfeeding Sep 25, 2014

  • I've referred to this book so many times with 2 kids. My first was not a great nurser and it had helpful info re: plugged ducts, pumping; I had oversupply with 2nd and this helped there too! Jul 28, 2014

  • lots of helpful information Jul 24, 2014

  • This was educational to help me prepare for BFing. May 14, 2014

  • Less helpful than kellymom.com and la leche league websites. I should've bought the LLL book instead. Feb 18, 2014

  • Easy to understand layout if not as comprehensive as The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (the official LLL book). This was a good chairside reference guide for me. Nov 20, 2013

  • I should have read this before I had my baby, but better late than never. A good guide. Oct 27, 2013

  • excellent nursing book for nursing moms Oct 11, 2013

  • A great resource for a first time mom or nurser. Sep 30, 2013
