Editorial Reviews:
Breastfeeding may be natural, but it is not always instinctive. The 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic guide to breastfeeding, beloved by a generation of women, has been completely revised and updated to provide even more practical, reassuring advice and support for today's expectant and nursing mothers. Easy-reference survival guides help identify and resolve problems at each stage. An appendix on drug safety is a unique feature among breastfeeding books.

Summary: The MOST COMPREHENSIVE Breastfeeding Resource!
Comment: This is the only book you need to breastfeed your baby. Eleven months later I still open this book often to find information on ALL topics. Particularly helpful is the quite comprehensive drug appendix.

Summary: Great book!
Comment: The lactation consultant at my hospital's breastfeeding class recommended this book. EXCELLENT INFORMATION for a nervous new mom. Now I'll just have to see if it all works in 4 weeks when my baby comes!

Summary: Read it BEFORE you go to the hospital
Comment: Lots of great info I could have used in the beginning. Still good to have now, I thought it was more a reference book when I bought it and didn't read it until later. I could have really used a lot of the information going in and in that first week. It's easy to read, and offers a lot of tips on childcare aside from just breastfeeding.

Summary: fantastic book for nursing mothers
Comment: I actually bought this book because I received a nursing package somewhere that had a small booklet with an excerpt from this book. I thought that small booklet was amazing compared to most of the nursing info I'd received and thought it worthwhile to get the full book...and I'm so glad I did. This book got so much use. I've since passed it on to a pregnant friend for her to borrow. I think anyone serious about nursing should get this book before giving birth.

Summary: No Advice on Weaning
Comment: I bought this book before my son was born because I'd read that it is very important to have a good nursing manual. We thankfully received lots of support from the hospital and pediatrician, so the first time I really needed the advice in here was when I decided to wean him at seven months. Guess what? No information! This was basically another breastfeeding commercial and implied that if I weaned my child before 2 years, I was a horrible parent.

Look, bottom line is it would be nice if this book could simply serve the function of giving you much needed information about breastfeeding. Part of the journey is ending the breastfeeding relationship, and I think it's a huge oversight that weaning isn't discussed in detail. We get advice from enough sources as it is. Everyone has an opinion; I don't think it's right for a reference material to have one too.
