This review is from: The Meat & Potatoes of Breastfeeding (Paperback)
I read this book but it really isn't anything new compared to any other book about what breastfeeding mothers should eat.

This review is from: The Meat & Potatoes of Breastfeeding (Paperback)
As a first-time mother who hadn't considered breastfeeding until my daughter was born, it just felt like the natural way to go. As we had encountered our first tough night, and couldn't calm our crying daughter, I wondered, was it something I ate? I frantically searched the web for help, and decided I needed an entire book on the subject. I ended up with several books, and this one was the quickest and easiest to read through. It has lists of possible "gas-producing foods", and "cow's milk-containing foods" that helped solve our problem. It was very down-to-earth, and explained everything I needed to know to help me understand how to best feed my daughter. She is now 8 months old, still breastfeeding (and on some solids), and is the happiest baby I know. Thank you!

Good basic information but not enough detail for all moms., Aug 25 1999
By Christine Dwyer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Meat & Potatoes of Breastfeeding (Paperback)
This book would be wonderful for a first time mom or a mom who is breastfeeding for the first time and has a cranky child. The book has good nutrition guidelines and information on what might be causing your child to be distressed during or after feeding. If, however, you have been dealing with lactose or milk protein problems with your other children as babies, this book probably won't give you much more information than you already have. If you are like me, you've been searching for help on what foods could cause stomach upset, and how to deal with dairy problems in breastfeeding. This book gave me no new information. The recipes looked like good basic recipes but there was nothing there that I haven't seen in other cookbooks.
