The Breastfeeding Book: Everything You Need to Know About Nursing Your Child from Birth Through Weaning by Martha Sears, William Sears Summary and Reviews
Book Reviews of The Breastfeeding Book: Everything You Need to Know About Nursing Your Child from Birth Through WeaningBook Review: Do not read this book if you have any trouble breastfeeding!This book does have some good information in it like the charts of what things you can and cant take while breastfeeding and how to keep your nutrition up. But these two are so opinionated that you end up feeling like a failure if you have any trouble breastfeeding. I was reading this book because I was having trouble producing milk. I had an emergency c-section and mastitis. My doctor starting supplementing my son on formula because he was not gaining enough weight. Between not producing milk and reading this book I felt like the worst mother doing a disservice to my son when we finally gave up on breastfeeding. I felt like it was my fault and I was just not doing things right and not the truth that my body was not able to do it. In the end if you are a successful with breastfeeding this book makes a good reference but RUN far away from this book if you are having any problems breastfeeding. |
