Book Reviews of The American Academy of Pediatrics New Mother's Guide to Breastfeeding
Book Review: Great encouragement and info for the determined breastfeeder. Formula users and those quick to ween Beware!
Summary: 4 Stars
Written simply, it's easy to get through the book in a day or two. There are little stories here and there that can be skipped over as they do not add any real information or entertainment. The information is good,they do give good resources for where to go or who to contact if you are struggling to feed or just need support, as well as all the specs on how and why to breastfeed. I also like the charts in the back that tell you what to normally expect from growth to bowel movements daily. Be aware that it can get preachy (possibly rightfully so) that breastfeeding is ALWAYS better than formula, the longer you breastfeed the better (has facts to back it up) and pushes feeding on demand (AKA milk factory open 24/7) It scolds society for shunning women who breastfeed into the toddler years or in public, reminding us that the baby's health is more important than public approval.
