Product Description

Review

Beautiful to look at and easy to read, BESTFEEDING reaffirms the joy and ease of breastfeeding when a mother has access to both information and ongoing support. A positive and helpful book. -Marian Tompson, cofounder, La Leche League International"Among the myriad 'how-to'¬? books on breastfeeding, BESTFEEDING delivers an immensely practical guide to successful nursing. This valuable reference will enable mothers to avoid problems and enjoy their experience."-Jane Morton, M.D., Stanford University Medical Center"BESTFEEDING is a virtual treasury of the collective wisdom on breastfeeding, and it is now my first choice for parents." -Marshall Klaus, M.D., author of The Doula Book


Product Description

For more than a decade, BESTFEEDING has been recognized by midwives, doctors, and nursing mothers as the definitive word on breastfeeding. The culmination of 60-plus years of hands-on experience from three dedicated and internationally respected authors, this newly updated classic blends academic knowledge, clinical expertise, and practical skills to educate first-time and experienced mothers alike. Mothers will find precisely the information they need to help their babies grow and thrive-physically and emotionally-as a result of breastfeeding. The book answers all questions a new mother may have, and it is fully illustrated with dozens of helpful photos and drawings that demonstrate all the dos and don'¬?ts of breastfeeding. In addition to the basics, mothers will find tried-and-true solutions to both common and more unusual problems, as well as remedies for babies with special needs. With its sensitive and informed advice, BESTFEEDING is a supportive reminder of what women have always known: that breastfeeding is, quite simply, the best way to nourish a baby. An illustrated guide to the basics of breastfeeding your baby, with more than 100 photos. Topics include the benefits of breastfeeding for both you and your baby; posture and positions; medical and dietary concerns; and causes and solutions to numerous breastfeeding problems. Revised and thoroughly updated with new information on feeding multiple babies and adopted babies, and a discussion of the emotional rewards of breastfeeding. The first two editions have sold more than 120,000 copies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Jan 13 2007
By A reader (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
I read this book prior to having my baby and found it to be very informative. Lots of pictures and illustrations to help you learn the proper technique. I still required the help of a lacation consultant but was assured that I had the technique and postioning correct. Some babies just take longer to learn than others. I found the book a good reference for the many questions I had (and still have) about breastfeeding. I have recommended it to friends and family!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for breastfeeders!, Nov 18 2003
By A Customer
This book helped so immensely! I only wish someone would have shown it to me when I struggled to nurse my first children!

I highly recommend this book for everyone planning to breastfeed. It headed off all kinds of problems and pitfalls!

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless advice -- go see a laction consultant!, Oct 22 2003
By A Customer
My wife and I struggled for six weeks with breastfeeding for our first child. We had lots of trouble with the baby latching on. We bought this book and another one and completely absorbed it and followed all their advice and it was of no help at all. In fact, it made it worse because it only enhanced our feeling of hopelessness. Most women would've given up but my wife persevered. In my opinion, the only way to solve your breastfeeding problems is to go see a professional. They don't charge much and you get a 100% customized plan for your personal set of problems. Every woman's body is different, every baby is different and every breastfeeding situation is different. In my opinion, no book with a generic, one-size- fits-all approach is going to work for everybody.

However, beware that not all lactation consultants are the same. If you happen to live in the Washington DC area, one of the very best in this field is Josie at the Northern Virginia Lactation Consultants in Fairfax, VA. After struggling for six weeks with various books and consultants, we finally saw Josie and within two days all our problems were solved!
