Book Review: Great Reference Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing refencnce guide for nursing mothers. It is thorough and easy to use. I've used it a ton and have lent it to others.Book Review: The Definitive Nursing/Baby Guide!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is THE book to have when your baby's crying and you don't know what to do! Many a night I cracked this open to determine the cause of my son's crying and found good solid answers about babies, nursing and the whole process. It provided a good education for me and contributed to my being a good mom, successful at nursing and a healthy woman. I give this book to all new nursing moms and have been told that it was one of the most beneficial gifts they've gotten.Book Review: A Must Have for anyone who intends to nurse - even for a few weeks
Summary: 5 Stars
I can honestly say I would not have made it through the first six weeks of nursing my twins or nursing my son without this book. It is a welcome friend during that time when a brand new mommy is most insecure about everything, especially nursing. For example, when it's 3 am and you have questions trying to determine if you and/or your baby have thrush, it's worth it's weight in gold. I now try to purchase it for all of my friends who are expecting.Book Review: A Must for Any Nursing Mother
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this bought after reading reviews here on Amazon. I have found this book to be my nursing bible and refer to it very often, even now that I've been nursing for 5 months. There is no lactation consultant in my area and my friends either don't have children or aren't breastfeeding, so this book as been my main resource for breastfeeding information. I have been able to avoid problems with latch on, plugged ducts and baby indegestion (to name a few) due to the information in this book. After a brief section on the benefits of breastfeeding for mom and baby, it focuses heavily on feeding techniques, potential problems, and feeding stages. There is a great appendix that discusses medications (what's safe, what's not).
I have purchased two more books for friends and plan to give this as a shower gift from here on out. This is money well spent!
Book Review: COULDN'T HAVE NURSED WITHOUT IT
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely loved this book. I have recommended it to all my pregnant friends thinking of nursing. I have refered back to this book for numerous things throughout the time I have been nursing my, now, 11th month old daughter. It has a section on safe medications during nursing which has turned out to be very helpful also.
