By "plummiee1" (Wahiawa (Wheeler Army Air Field), Hawaii) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The American Academy of Pediatrics New Mother's Guide to Breastfeeding (Paperback)
For new mothers considering breastfeeding, this is a wonderful book for the new moms-to be like myself. Not only does it give the basics of how to breastfeed but why your body does the amazing things it does!! It has made me feel (already) better prepared for September (my due date) and beyond. I definitely suggest this book to everyone considering to breastfeed. It will be a fantastic resource to go back and read though again and again. ALOHA!!

Great info,
By J. Mitchell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The American Academy of Pediatrics New Mother's Guide to Breastfeeding (Paperback)
This is THE breastfeeding book to buy. As a NICU nurse, I am familiar with breastfeeding, but as a new mom, I needed some help. This book addresses the real issues that come up with breastfeeding without passing judgement or inducing guilt if your experience isn't "perfect". (Nobody's is) Also, it addresses the issues of storing milk to let you continue breastfeeding when you go back to work better than any other book I've looked at.

Great Book and resource,
By Jenn B "Happy Mom" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The American Academy of Pediatrics New Mother's Guide to Breastfeeding (Paperback)
Great book. I recieved this book at the breastfeeding class I took before I delivered. I used this book all the time when I was nursing, it helped answer a lot of middle of the night questions. I read it before I had my baby, but then I used the table of contents and index after I had the baby to answer a lot of questions I was having. I highly recommend this book to anyone going to have a baby and plans to nurse.
