Summary: By Breastfeeding Bible!
Comment: From my perspective, breastfeeding success depends a lot on how much support the mom has, including educational support like this book. I am a big "Sears" fan to start with, but this book is already dog-eared just 4.5 months into my first child. I had an AWFUL start nursing her and needed to seek help from a lactation consultant as well. This book sat at my nursing station and I read and re-read sections to help me get things working. Now I am a happy nursing mother with a thriving nursed baby. I still refer to it when I have questions. A very worthwhile purchase for any pregnant woman or excellent shower gift!

Summary: Let's be Realistic!!!
Comment: People! People! People!
I am rather disturbed after reading some of the reviews.
Let's use some commonsense and be objective, please!!!
Breast-feeding is a wonderful thing.
However, please do not let 1 book become your sole reference (or make you cry for that matter) for what is potentially 1 of the most important decisions during your child's life.
Please read other references.
Please consultant your doctor, nurse or lactation consultant (who generally offer free advice), and other women who have breastfed successfully.
Pro's:Overall Content Good
General Problem Solving are Good
Con's:Everything in this book can be found
in "The Baby Book" by Martha Sears R.N., William Sears M.D.
Problems can better be resolved by doctor, nurse/lactation consultant
(I also suggest reading: "The Nursing Mother's Problem Solver" by Claire Martin)
I have battled with:
1.Jaundice when my child was first born. (I supplemented using a bottle and continued to breastfeed).
2.Not feeling as though she was getting enough to eat (she seemed as if she cried none stop)
3.Sleepless nights (this was resolved once I learned how to nurse at night, which wasn't easy at first because she was so tiny)
4.Growth Spurts (Nursing around the clock)
5.Refusing a bottle (Even though she has had 1 since birth)
6.General overall tiredness (Which can reduce your supply, so ask for help around the house and relax a little)
7.Returning to Work (and continuing to breastfeed, while pumping when away)
Through it all, I keep reading and asking questions.
Never letting any 1 source deter me from my goal.
And ultimately doing what is best for our family in any given situation.

Summary: A "Can't live without" book for every breastfeeding mother..
Comment: I purchased this book during my pregnancy so that I could research the option of breastfeeding. It not only helped me make my decision but I continue to use it for a reference. Any woman who is breastfeeding must have a copy on hand to answer the many questions they will have throughout their breastfeeding months. It teaches you how to recognize problems before they need medical attention. It truly helps you appreciate the wonderful bonding period you will have with your baby.
