I had this book for my second child and found many helpful hints. Great for a new mom or mom-to-be who plans to nurse and wants some help trouble-shooting.
Great book, it gives you lots of tips about all the different problems that arise during the first stages of breastfeeding helping you identify and solve them. I like the very professional aproach of the writer: she does not try to sell you 'any idea' as you would find in the "La Leche League" book which implies that if you supplement or choose to bootle feed your baby you are not a good mother. Now that I finally got to master my breastfeeding process, I keep it as a consultation book. I highly reccomment this book for any mother even if they decide not to breastfeed their babies.
I received a pamphlet copy of a few chapters of this book while in the hospital after delivery of my second child. I really considered myself a champion breast-feeder. I'd had a really positive experience nursing my first child. However, the information in those few chapters was excellent! I learned even more very useful information. I bought this book because a friend is expecting a baby and she plans to nurse. I gave the book to her in hopes that she would gain from the information. I recommend this book beacuse it answers lots of common questions about nursing. It's not biased. I recommend reading about breast-feeding prior to having a baby and being familiar with the prospect of problems and how to surpass them.
