Beautiful and informative
I love this book for so many reasons, it's so unusual in its design I found myself examining all the illustrations before starting on reading the content! It is easy to read but also really imformative, would make a wonderful gift for a new/expectant mom as its very gentle in how the information is given (which at a time when everyone wants to give you advice is a really good thing!)
Saggy Boobs and other breastfeeding myths
This is a fabulous little book! It may be a light read, but it is certainly not light on evidence-based information. Dispelling breastfeeding myths is one of my main aims in antenatal classes, and the myths appear to be limitless: babies get the runs when you eat curry, champagne gives them hiccups, you end up with boobs like spaniels' ears, and of course you're at the beck and call of a miniature tyrant who never learns to sleep, if you breastfeed. I love the clear, factual answers, especially the response to modern formula milks are as good as breastmilk,' which I might memorise. Each page includes the most amazing embroidered illustrations by Lou Gardiner, and the whole book is so unique, accessible and appealing that I think it should be standard issue for expectant mothers.
