Book Reviews of The Nursing Mother's Companion: Revised Edition
Book Review: Great breastfeeding book-one of the best!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Are you a new mom? Do you desire to breastfeed your baby but find yourself lost? Are you a seasoned mom who has breastfed before? This book has something to offer for every type of parent! I found it invaluable while I nursed my son. Especially for those parents who do not have a readily accessible lactation consultant or La Leche League group in your area. Best book to add to your parenting library!Book Review: Great Book For First Time Moms!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book just a few days prior to having my baby, and was so happy that I had my copy with me at the hospital. It has been a great reference from day 1. I took a breastfeeding class at our hospital, but they did not address the challenges of breastfeeding at all. I was not prepared, and thank goodness I had this book handy to help me through engorgement, latching, pumping and storing. I highly recommend it to any mother who is even thinking about breastfeeding.Book Review: Invaluable living overseas
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't write reviews often, but I had to for this book because of the help and comfort it has given me.
My husband and I are living overseas in Germany. We speak the language but not to such a specific extent which makes problem dr. visits more challenging for us. This book has been my saving grace. It helped us with many things from getting off to a good start with the latch, how to keep baby awake to feed, medicines ok to take during nursing, breast infections (I've had 3), sore nipples (now that baby is teething), all the way to starting solids. I wouldn't feel so comfortable in my nursing practices living over here without it.
There is a great deal more to breastfeeding than I ever thought and this book addresses it all. I brought it with us to the hospital and I'm still referring to it today - baby girl is 6 months already. I can't say enough about this book.
Book Review: Great Reference
Summary: 5 Stars
This book contains comprehensive, solid information to help you become a successful nursing mother. I recommend buying this while you are pregnant to read up on what to expect and plan for those early weeks and beyond. I still use it for reference if I have a question.
We are still nursing at 11months and plan to continue for a little while longer.
So That's What They're For is also a great nursing book if you are looking for something that is a little more casual in tone.
Above all, I think a determination to succeed and confidence that you are giving your baby the best start in life are what helps the most.
Book Review: excellent reference for breastfeeding
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book reference I found about breastfeeding. It offers concrete advice for when things are going well and step-by-step suggestions for when things are going badly. Despite what some of the other breastfeeding books might say, breastfeeding can be incredibly difficult. This book is down to earth, offers a lot of different perspectives, gives advice on how to deal with low milk supply, going back to work, traveling, and the major transitions as your baby grows.
I highly recommend this book.
