Summary: This has become THE gift that I give at every baby shower.
Review: It's funny and easy to read so it appeals to even women who straddle the fence when trying to decide between breastfeeding and bottlefeeding. It's just the thing they need to push them in the right direction. I have to keep buying it because I always give my copy away to expectant mothers. Do they sell this in bulk?

Summary: How funny and informative!
Review: Finally a book about breastfeeding that has humor and useful information! It was hard to put down Janet Tamaro's book. The comments and stories were a riot to read. Most of the information was real life and something everyone could probably relate.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent reference for anyone even thinking about Nursing
Review: This book is lighthearted and straighforward, and tells it like it is. I would recommend this book for everyone who is expecting a child. It is a wonderful resource and a lot of fun to read.

Summary: The only book you need for breastfeeding!
Review: Although most people think that breastfeeding is instinctive, you really need an instruction manual since neither of you know what you're doing. If you are tempted to buy the more technical breastfeeding books, save your money. Janet does an excellent job of telling you everything you need to know. And her hilarious sense of humor really helps you absorb the information you'll need to breastfeed successfully (barring unusual individual circumstances). This is only one of two books I've ever laughed out loud at--she really makes a technical subject rather riveting! Her discussion of the later stages of breastfeeding is also helpful, since the learning process doesn't stop when they learn to latch on.

Summary: A must-have for anyone breastfeeding or considering it!
Review: This is a great book! I have several good breastfeeding books and this one is the one I would recommend first to anyone. Even though there are others that are more technical, I found this one to be warm and intelligently written, as well as funny. I think the information in it is vital for any breastfeeding family -- dads too!

Summary: This is the funniest, most useful book out there on Nursing!
Review: When I was first considering breastfeeding, I read every book I could get my hands on. This one is by far the best! It is practical, helpful, and a great reference. But, unlike some others I found, it is also funny, enjoyable, and *easy* to read. I've been nursing for 8 months now and I still use it as a reference. I love this book so much that I've already purchased copies for two of my friends who are pregnant and plan to give it to every new mother I know from now on!

Rating:
Summary: You must read this book BEFORE you give birth!
Review: How I wish I had found this before my son was born. All the info I found in the other books was in here, but MUCH more entertaining and just as accurate! Great shower gift for expectant moms! Loved the chapter on toddler nursing, too!

Summary: My copy is dog-eared from being read so many times!
Review: I cannot recommend this book enough. It is a funny, down to earth, and helpful book for expecting and new moms. I've read mine many many times. I've been nursing for 6 months and I still refer to it. Janet Tamaro's writing style and insight into breastfeeding can prepare you for possible problems without causing a lot of anxiety. This would make a great shower gift, in my opinion.
