Book Reviews of Dr. Jack Newman's Guide to Breastfeeding
Book Review: This book, along with Jack's website, are the best BF resources I've found!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book, along with The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (La Leche League International Book) are my top pics for breast feeding books. I only had LLL's book w/ my first son, and did find it more descriptive than Jacks for how to put Baby to the breast, I thought I had it down pat before my baby arrived. But..... then somehow I still had mega latch issues, and the nurses were telling me I was doing everything right. But, as Jack points out, it's easy/common to be told you're doing everything right when that may not be the case- if you are in pain, you need help to correct the situation, and fast! Thankfully I looked up a local La Leche League leader who spent a couple hours with me in her home showing me how to make his latch more comfortable in just about every position you can think of, and things shaped up after that just fine. So if you need in-person help, I highly recommend looking up a local La Leche League leader!
As far as BF reading material goes, I highly recommend this book. I also found that my hospital did several things I should have objected to with my first son, so hopefully things will go a lot smoother this time around now that I know what to object to.
Be sure to check out Jack's website though!!!!!!! Amazon won't let me link to it, but if you google his name you'll find it. He has videos showing correct and incorrect latches, as well as demonstrating when babies are just sucking vs. when they are actually drinking. I found his videos to be a great help, especially when compared to a written description- it's just easier to see what he's talking about by actually seeing a video.
