Book Reviews of The Complete Book of Breastfeeding: Revised Edition

Book Review: Great book for working-outside-of-home mothers!
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book while I was nursing my second baby because I needed reassurance all over again. (There are 8 years' difference in my first and second children.) Thanks goodness I bought it, as I'm now nursing baby #3, and I STILL needed to refer to this book (every baby's different, you know!).

The Complete Book of Breastfeeding offered all the support that I couldn't get from others. It even has a chapter for the father of the baby, so that he can better understand your decision to breastfeed, and what he can do to help you and how he can bond w/ baby.

This book also offers advice on how to handle those who tell you that a mother's milk is not sufficient for providing enough nutrition for your baby.

With help from this book, I was able to learn how to build up my milk supply and keep it up after going back to work. It also gave me the nerve to talk w/ my boss about breastfeeding issues and ask for permission to take a longer bathroom break then usual in order to pump milk for my baby for the next day.

There is an excellent section in here that tells you when it's safe to nurse if you're sick, and what medications are OK to take while nursing.

If you are determined to nurse your baby, to continue breastfeeding after returning to work, or just need information while you're nursing, this book is an excellent choice in helping you prepare for every situation that arrives.
