Breastfeeding
What is your favorite breastfeeding book?
Let us know!
"There are lots of books on breastfeeding—of the ones I've had in my hands,
these are the most practical and helpful. "The
Nursing Mother's Companion" saved my nursing relationship with my daughter,
but it is a very "text" oriented book and is better for people who learn well
from reading. "Bestfeeding:
Getting Breastfeeding Right for You" has marvelous illustrations and
simple "how-to" solutions to common problems that will help almost any mother
breastfeed successfully. With these two books in hand, there are few problems
that cannot be solved quickly and easily."
