Book Reviews of Bestfeeding: How to Breastfeed Your Baby
Book Review: Fabulous, fabulous!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was my lifesaver. I consulted this book when I had problems after my son was born, and found the answers I needed. I devoured it before my son was born, and this, along with detailed advice from a lactation consultant(who was thrilled I had bought this book) and the nurses in the maternity ward was what I needed to get me on the right start. My son was exclusively breastfed for five months and still nurses happily at sixteen months. This is a wonderful reference for the breastfeeding family.Book Review: One of the best how-to books on breastfeeding
Summary: 5 Stars
Bestfeeding is an excellent book for new mothers wanting to breastfeed. Besides covering breastfeeding "basics", Bestfeeding also deals with many of the difficulties than can arise. Perhaps its best feature are the clear pictures depicting both good and the less-than-perfect positionings of babies on the breast--very helpful for the inexperienced breastfeeding mom. Most other books only give line drawings of a proper attachment. This book shows the reader examples of poor positioning and then explains what is wrong with the picture. If a new mother is going to buy one book on breastfeeding before she has her baby, this is the one I recommend.Book Review: fewer words, more pictures, more information
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent! Shows a new breastfeeding mother how to position a newborn properly. Many books do a better job of explaining subjects like why breastfeed, weening, and introducing solids (like the LaLeche Bible (oops I mean manual)), but this book has pictures of how to position that little one. Breastfeeding is natural, but there are some things to do right to make the experience positive and to increase the chance of a longer nursing relationship. This book will get you, baby (and dad) off to a great start.Book Review: EH, it was ok.
Summary: 2 Stars
I decided I wanted to breastfeed my child when she was born, so I thought I would get a bit of information. My mother gave me some advice, my mother-in-law gave me some advice and a few friends gave me their insight. I found this book to be redundant and not any more informative than my mother's advice. Given, she is a maternal and child health care worker, but still, I expected more from this book. I only picked it up once or twice. I suffered from mastitis, and my daughter developed some late 'nipple confusion', and the book didn't give me any new help, that my mom couldn't give me. I would honestly choose Kathleen Huggins' book next time.Book Review: THE book I recommend as an educator & doula
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is wonderful because it doesn't just tell you how to breastfeed, it SHOWS you! More pictures, and better pictures, than any other breastfeeding book I've seen.
