Breast-feeding Bible
I found this book very practical, clear and thorough on the subject. With lots of ideas and different view on breast-feeding. The common denominator of all chapter is that breast-feeding is natural, nurturing, can be enjoyable indeed and with care can be easy. <p>It doesn't have to be read from beginning to end but consulted on demand with a wonderfully detailed index. <p>As a holistic practitioner I think prevention is better then cure, reading this book early gives confidence and knowledge on the subject so mums can healthily and easily breast-feed and practitioner can refer to a reliable, professional source.
Wonderfully written book
This book is one of the books that has really inspired me as a breastfeeding mother. It is also a great reference and I now make a point of lending and recommending it to any pregnant friends. It makes the whole concept less scary and more realistic and doesn't elevate breastfeeding to some heady unachievable high. Sometimes it is hard.
