2.0 out of 5 stars Lots of misinformation, February 26, 2000
By 
Marie (Northern CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breastfeeding and the Working Mother (Paperback)
I was dismayed by all the misinformation in this book. Most of the breastfeeding information is about 10 years out of date. I have the 1987 edition and was surprised by how little they revised the book when they re-released it.

On top of that, the theme of the book seems to be that breastfeeding and working is hard, you probably won't be able to really do it so don't try very hard and don't feel guilty when you fail. I don't need to read a book to get that attitude; I can just talk to my relatives!

The one helpful part of the book was the case studies of how different women handled different work situations especially unusual situation. It's a shame the rest of the book goes out of it's way to emphasize the negative and downplay anything positive about the choice to continue to breastfeed after going back to work.
