Summary: Good choice for first-timer
Review: I was very anxious about breastfeeding, so I bought this book and read it before I had the baby. It helped me to identify problems before they occured, and probably helped me to recognize what was going on and not give up before I really got going. Although I am not as anti-pacifier, anti-bottle as this book, I did find it extremely useful and have referred to it many times. I constantly refer to the extensive section that addresses the safety of many different drugs/substances during nursing. I would highly recommend this book to any new moms!

Summary: Best for Mom When Breast is Best
Review: This is the absolute guide to breastfeeding. I decided I wanted to breastfeed despite my family's negative views and remarks about breastfeeding. I heard everything from you'll have a fat baby to the baby could die if you get nervous and breastfeed. This book renewed my hopes and made gave me know how to breastfeed successfully. Everything from different holds to problems that may arise are included. I borrowed this book from my library and was scanning so much out of it that my husband decided to buy me my very own copy.....which is now marked up on practically every page.

Summary: This book is priceless!
Review: I had a horrible experience breastfeeding my first child. Determined to make it work with my second child, I received this book during a hospital class. Read it cover to cover. Teaches you the early basics and the biology of lactation that is easy to understand. Has great info on pumping, milk storage, and weaning. I have recommended it to my family as a great resource.

Summary: great resource
Review: This is a great, easy to use book. It is very easy to find the information you need and has practical advice. I thought it was laid out more logically and concisely than the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: BUY THIS BOOK
Review: I recommend this book to all of my patients. I have yet to see a mother who purchased this book in the last part of pregnancy, not "make it" breastfeeding. If you plan to breastfeed, this book is one to have in your bag, take to the birth center or hospital and believe me, you will use it and find it helpful. This combined with Simkins "Birth Partner" are two absolute essentials for purchase in late pregnancy.

Summary: Get this book!!!
Review: If you're thinking about breastfeeding - get this book!!! I had trouble with my first son and gave up after the 1st week. Thanks in part to this book, I'm on week #3 and am determined to make it past that first month that everyone says is so hard. I was going to buy the LLL book, but bought this one instead and am SO glad I did. You won't regret spending the money on this one and it'll be something you keep going back to through time.

Summary: The best book on breastfeeding I've read
Review: This book may not be as thick as some of the other breastfeeding books on the market, but it's definitely the best. Kathleen Huggins does an amazing job of concisely conveying important information that you need in order to successfully breastfeed your baby: positioning tips, a discussion of the benefits of feeding your baby on demand as opposed to in accordance with some arbitrary schedule, and so on. I also like her friendly and supportive style. I felt like I was getting advice from a trusted friend.

Summary: The best resource for breastfeeding!
Review: This book is by far the best, most comprehensive resource for the breastfeeding mom. I turned to this book regularly during the first few months (especially the first weeks!) of my son's life. The writing is direct and simple without being preachy, and the solutions for basic breastfeeding issues were right on the money. Despite the fact that breastfeeding is painted out to be "natural and instinctual" - it isn't. If you only buy one book to get you on the road to breastfeeding with confidence, this is it.
