The book's format is the first good thing about it. I had a bad breastfeeding experience with my first child, who is now 3. I ordered the audiobook while pregnant and listened to it in the car on the way to work. Afterwards, I can listen to it during a feeding to help decipher baby's body language. The next best thing is Ms. Morgan's emphasis on becoming a partner with your baby rather than remaining in the teaching role. This helped me not to try to control the breastfeeding sessions, letting them be baby-led, which made baby and me both happier, resulting in improved feedings and milk supply. I would recommend this book to everyone and not just first-time mothers!

Even though I know Beverly Morgan is a highly respected IBCLC (Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant), I was surprised at how MUCH breastfeeding information she packed into this audio book and how beautifully she articulated the connection between baby-mother communication and a successful breastfeeding relationship. There was so much useful information that I had to listen several times. She presented all of this in a way that FELT extremely empowering.

This audiobook is a must-have addition to any new mother's library. I wish there was also a paper version. The audiobook is beautifully narrated and is perfect for the new mom to listen to while she is breastfeeding, pumping, or even driving in the car. The style of the book made it easy to visualize baby's cues, positions, movements, and
vocalizations. Beverly Morgan gives vivid descriptions of all of this baby language and how to know what it means for you and your baby. She goes on to tell you how to respond to these communications/cues in a way that meets your baby's individual needs.

I recommend this audiobook to the new or veteran mom looking for breastfeeding information or simply looking for a more connected relationship with their baby.

If you've ever helplessly held a baby who is crying and wondered what they were trying to tell you, this is the book you need to listen too. After listening to Reading Your Baby's Body Language, I am now able to interpret my newborn baby's facial expressions and hand or leg positions to understand what he needs or wants. There is a lot less frustration on his part and mine. What more could a mother wish for in those early months?

As a busy mom of three children under the age of four, my youngest just a few weeks old, I found this audio book perfect to listen to while driving them all around town. It was easy to stick in the diaper bag and listen to at home while feeding the baby or cooking dinner as well. If only all of the books I wish to read were this convenient! The narrator's voice is very soothing and captures the attention well. I've had a variety of different levels of ease and hardships with my three individual babies with breastfeeding and how I wish I'd have known this information earlier, but it is so helpful with my third-born as well. I look forward to listening to Beverly Morgan's other audio books too!
