5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible breastfeeding resource!, November 8, 2002

By 

Connie Banack (Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guide to Breastfeeding (Paperback)

The definitive guide to breastfeeding that I have looked for and finally found - how incredible for it to also be Canadian! Everything is covered in this book, even blebs which I needed information on personally and could not find in the many other breastfeeding books I own (I am a childbirth educator and doula so I own several). Not only did it have the information I needed, it even had a picture of a bleb and gave me the healing options I needed for this painful condition! This is the first book I recommend to all of my clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, June 15, 2005

This review is from: Dr. Jack Newman's Guide to Breastfeeding (Revised and Updated) (Paperback)

This book was an amazing resource that helped me enormously with breastfeeding. If it wasn't for Dr. Newman's book, I wouldn't have lasted the first weeks of breastfeeding. Through comprehensive teachings and examples, it teaches you how to breastfeed easily and without pain, while giving you a glimpse of the marketing that formula companies employ to lure women away from nursing.

It is the one book that is essential for a breastfeeding mother (or mother to be).
