Summary: Abhorrent Advice
Review: Telling a mother to limit breastfeeding to the "duration of her maternity leave" and that this short term nursing is good enough ignores medical facts and condescends to mothers and women in general.

The guilt does not come from feeling bad about breastfeeding or stopping, it comes later when moms realize that they failed to get the advice and support they needed to breastfeed while they returned to work.

Medical professionals truly well-versed in infant and pediatric nutrition would never counsel healthy mothers to shorten the duration of breastfeeding. These authors fall far short. Get Sears' or Newman's books instead.

Summary: There's better advice than this out there!
Review: Wilkoff labels breastfeeding after returning to work as being overly troublesome for new moms. Not so. As a breastfeeding mother, I have successfully breastfed while working full time with minimal hassle or interruptions to my life. I recommend any woman looking for good breastfeeding information and support buy Dr. Sears The Breastfeeding Book or The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. Breast is best - and for a lot longer than just the first three months!
