Book Reviews of The Nursing Mother's Companion: Revised Edition
Book Review: Fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best purchase I ever made. I started reading it 2 months before my daughter was born to prepare myself. And I'm still using it today. I refer to it when my friends or I have breastfeeding problems. If you're thinking of breastfeeding, this is the book to get. Book Review: Only BF book I have...
Summary: 4 Stars
Based on others reviews read I bought this book.
It covers all necessary questions a newly BFing mother would have without being too preachy.
Book Review: My Favorite Nursing Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is fabulous for moms-to-be and nursing mothers. I nursed my first child for almost 17 months...and just finished nursing my second child. It is a wonderful resourse that I continued to turn to for advice, even with my second child. I highly recommend it! It is the only nursing book you will need! Book Review: More complete than my breastfeeding class
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have limited funds and need to choose between a book or a class, I would highly recommend this book. The class I took was only 2.5 hours long and so it only had discussion for the most common of experiences... a poor latch. This book seems very complete and focuses on problem-solving. The relative lack of judgmental dialog (a good thing) however means that it is a very boring read. I finally made it through the book though and have gotten a lot of value out of it as evidenced by all the tabbed pages that I will return to as needed. The appendices are also excellent.
The only two minor (but correctable) downsides are:
1. the breastpump discussion just can't keep up with the newly introduced products so check around Amazon for more reviews
2. I found it really helpful to watch the short video (as part of the breastfeeding class) which had a very short animated graphics showing how latch on should occur as viewed as a cross-section of the baby's mouth cavity; maybe something similar can be borrowed/viewed from a library for free?
Good luck ladies! I'll have my trial by fire in a few short months!
Book Review: This book read my mind
Summary: 5 Stars
I would highly recommend this title to other readers. The information is easy to follow and very useful. Any problems or questions I had were covered in this book and I find myself returning to chapters over and over again. After my daughter's birth, and as I began to experience breastfeeding, all of the information fell into place. It was like the author could read my mind!
