5.0 out of 5 stars
Supportive AND Realistic,
This review is from: Dr. Mom's Guide to Breastfeeding (Paperback)
For me, this is undoubtedly the best of the breastfeeding guides. It not only provides gentle (not pushy, like some others) support for your decision to breastfeed, it is beautifully written and organized. I loved the stories of the author's own experiences and the clear, practical directions. Breastfeeding is a challenging but rewarding experience. She eloquently describes the rewards while providing practical advice for the difficulties rather than ignoring or down-playing them. Thank You for all your help Dr. Neifert. I wish you could be my Doula!

Great Comprehensive Reference,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dr. Mom's Guide to Breastfeeding (Paperback)
Covers the basics, but unlike many breastfeeding books, does not blithely assume all women are ideally equipped to breastfeed (given the proper training). This book explores areas such as insufficient supply, breast reduction and augmentation, malformed and/or lopsided breasts (hypoplastic), inverted nipples, extemely oversized or undersized breasts, and the lsit goes on.The book also delves into methods for solving , or at least making the best of all sorts of problems or feeding situations. It provides a handy chart on what to expect in terms of new infant behaviour, and how to tell if baby is getting enough to eat. Recommend for any woman who falls outside the "average" range of breast feeding problems, or for anyone who wants to understand the subject more deeply. Specific topics are scrupulously cross referenced. Skim the index when confronted with a particular concern. Illustrations are quite illumiunating if a bit gritty. Maybe more than you need to get started, but clearly written and very comprehensive.

Suberb advice for solving breastfeeding problems.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dr. Mom's Guide to Breastfeeding (Paperback)
Although this book was written primarily for mothers, it should be required reading for any pediatric health care provider. The author is a pediatrician and a mother of five who is an internationally known expert in the field of lactation management. She writes beautifully, making the book a pleasure to read. It's a very complete reference for new breastfeeding mothers, providing accurate information about nursing a baby, with the material presented in a sensitive and accepting manner. As a health professional with many years of experience working with breastfeeding mothers, I found it to be, by far, the best book on breastfeeding that I've ever read.
