Book Reviews of The Nursing Mother's Companion: Revised Edition
Book Review: Good book to have in your pregnancy library.
Summary: 4 Stars
Hi! 8 years ago, my dad surprised me with this book and 3 others for my first pregnancy. I was trying to figure out if it was worth it or not to breastfeed. I was going to college, and my husband travels for a living. Needless to say, I went with breastfeeding. This book has come in handy, as we have run the gamot of problems. Each child had their own problem regarding breastfeeding, and instead of getting easier, each child was more of a challenge. We would look up feeding positions, spit-up, thrush, medications to use, mastitis, buying a breast pump...the whole lot. This has been a great reference book throughout my other 3 pregnancies. I have thrown out all but 4 books, and this is one of the 4. :D Also, I buy this, a pregnancy journal and the first Baby Blues collection for each of my pregnant friends for their first baby. :D Hope this helps a little!Book Review: Must have!
Summary: 5 Stars
Buy while you are pregnant if you can, but add this to your reference library. This is a must have for every woman who plans on breastfeeding. I've had mine through 2 kids and must say its good for all stages of breastfeeding.Book Review: Best nursing guide I found
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the full length version of that little booklet stuffed inside the Enfamil diaper bags hospitals give out. I liked the little booklet so much I was curious what was in the full length version, and was not disappointed! It's supportive of breastfeeding without being preachy. Has nursing troubleshooting sections for all stages of your infants life, up to toddlers. Also has a large section on prescription and over the counter drugs and their effect on nursing (does it appear in the milk, lower milk supply, etc) Highly recommended for anyone considering breastfeeding.Book Review: A very helpful breastfeeding book
Summary: 4 Stars
For my first child I took a breastfeeding class and this was the required reading. It was my "bible" for the first few weeks after the birth! It was quite helpful to go into detail about what I needed to know to be successful at breastfeeding (and it ain't always easy!).
If you're aiming to breastfeed exclusively this is a great book to have on hand.
Book Review: The Best and Only Nursing Book You Need
Summary: 5 Stars
Super informative, easy to understand, great resource section. I have 1 other book--the AAP book--and it is not 1/2 as good. Great layout, natural order of progression. And best of all, no hidden agenda, or platform to proselytize from. I read it over and over again, nearly wore it out, used every inch of every page of it. You cannot go wrong buying this book. It's like having a lactation consultant 24x7. Buy it! :-)
