This review is from: Babies, Breastfeeding and Bonding (Paperback)

Ina May Gaskin is the same author of Spiritual Midwifery and now writes a great book about breastfeeding. In this book, she provides tons of valuable information about the history of breastfeeding, the techniques, and solutions to common problems. I truly value this book because it helped me understand the bigger issues surrounding breastfeeding and understanding the best way to feed my child. I believe that the best part of the book is when Ina May shares the experience of losing one of her children. It touched me in the farthest depths of my soul. I value this woman's opinions and know that she is giving the advice that she has personally tested. I love this book and highly suggest to every woman even those who don't have children.
