5.0 out of 5 stars No Matter your Reason for Pumping - this will HELP!, October 22, 2003

Breastfeeding is supposed to be an easy, natural, peaceful, bonding experience between mother and child. However, when something stands in the way, such as prematurity, illness, sucking problems, inverted nipples, or a number of other unforeseen things, you quickly learn how valuable that milk is per ounce. When a pump is thrown into the picture, everything changes. You have to begin really working at producing milk, obsessing about producing more milk, storage, heating, schedules and bottles. This book gives insight to all of these concerns. I too felt alone when I had to begin pumping for my son in the NICU. Luckily I found a terrific group of women online to get information from, support, and friendship. Susan Stafford happened to be one of these women, and she wrote this book for women like us.

Whether you are a working mother trying to build a supply up for when you're away from home, or you have made the decision to exclusively pump for your baby, this book is will be of assistance.

This review is from: Pumping Breast Milk Successfully (Paperback)

This is the only book on pumping I believe, it is the best book I have ever read. It really helped me, when I needed it the most. When I had my baby I was told I would be able to breastfeed and my heart broke, this was the one thing I wanted to get right (right for me), my labor and delivery didn't go as planed, and then neither did breast breastfeed. The nurses told me to pump to relive pressure, but not to pump too much and I would dry up. When I asked if I would pump and give it in bottles they said I could but that it wasn't worth the time. It was worth my time, This book helped show that I wasn't alone and helped me find support. If you are trying to breastfeed and are thinking about pumping BUY THIS BOOK it saved me, my pump, and gave my baby breast milk

Although most of the information that was in here I had found already on the internet, this book gathers it all together. And, as an exclusive pumper until my daughter got the hang of nursing at 4 weeks, I found the personal stories that were published in there to be very relevant and poignant. I plan on loaning this book to my expecting friends.
