Breastfeeding for Dummies

Rating:
Summary: Great for new moms
Review: A very informative and comprehensive read, especially for new moms. I specifically like the encyclopedic nature of the book...easy to look up various topics of interest and/or concern. But I also liked the personal feel the authors gave to it...short anecdotes, personal opinions, etc. The book is encoraging without being pushy. It helped this new mom figure out nursing very quickly.

Summary: Everything You Need to Know...
Review: This book is packed full of everything you need to know about breastfeeding. Even better, the information is easy to find, which as any new mom will tell you, is essential those first hectic weeks and throughout a baby's infancy. Before giving the book to a friend who's expecting, I wanted to make sure it would stand up to any question she would have and any situation she might encounter. So I thought back to my own experiences, first with my daughter, then with my twin boys. Every doubt I had, every challenge I faced, I found easily in the index, the nicely outlined contents, or by flipping through the pages. The fact that this book is written by practicing RNs who have been in maternity for a number of years should be a great comfort to any breastfeeding mom. I especially like the sidebars in the grey boxes, many of them with personal tidbits from the co-authors' own breastfeeding experiences. Reading them, I found myself remembering the joys and challenges of nursing my babies. I wish this book had been available to me. I will happily pass it along to my friend and recommend it to other moms.
