Book Reviews of The Nursing Mother's Companion: Revised Edition
Book Review: Buy right now and don't give up on nursing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've only read the mini version of this book that I received ironically in a goodie bag from the hospital along with all those formula samples. I had decided early on to breastfeed my daughter in spite of what society and family said. I had minimal support for those first 2 weeks after she was born and this book was a life saver!!!! No one had bothered to tell me to try lying down to nurse. My daughter had a little bit of a high palate (also read about that in the book) and I was experiencing sore nipples and felt like I should give up. Lying down nursing is also awesome for the middle of the night feedings. I also referred back to the book many times with my son when he was born in 2008. Great book and great read!!!
Summary of The Nursing Mother's Companion: Revised Edition
The best-selling The Nursing Mother's Companion, now in its fully-updated fifth edition, will help you get off to a good start and guide you through the early months, covering all the basics of breastfeeding and including easy-reference "survival guides" for quick problem-solving. Since its original publication in 1986, more than 1 million nursing moms have relied on this classic guide.Breastfeeding has major benefits for both you and your baby-- it provides the best nutrition (according to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization), it saves money (on sick-baby doctor visits and formula and bottles), and it creates a unique bond between you and your child. Breastfeeding is not always easy, but with proper guidance and encouragement, you can overcome almost any challenge you may encounter and continue to breastfeed for as long as you choose.
