Invaluable resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Womanly art of Breastfeeding (Plume) (Paperback)
This book is an indispensable guide to any mother who chooses to breastfeed her baby. It covers all of the common concerns a new mother might have as well as discussing the value of "mothering through breastfeeding." This book has stood the test of time and continues to offer the wisdom of La Leche League as well as all the most up-to-date research available

Great inspiring book by actual breastfeeding mothers!,

This review is from: The Womanly art of Breastfeeding (Plume) (Paperback)
This book is an essential tool for the breastfeeding mother. I bought this book because my aunt bought it a long time ago (in Spanish) and recommended it to me. I read all of the reviews and am surprised to read that some women were not satisfied with this book. If you are looking for a book about the most modern way to breastfeed, go buy yourself a breast pump. If you are interested in a book that touches your heart and lets you view the world of breastfeeding from the actual breast (for a first time mother), than this is the book for you. I've had many books and am a first time mother of a healthy, breastfed 5 month old. I bought this book 2 weeks ago and read it while I feed my son. It has taught me some vital facts about breastfeeding that I had not seen anywhere else.
As for the fact that they use the term "he" to describe the child figure, it is clearly stated on the back of the contents page that it was for clarity purposes. They write "she" for the mother figure, and "he" for the child figure.

Had no idea,
By TotalEarthGirl "Kilroy" (Millville, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Womanly art of Breastfeeding (Plume) (Paperback)
When I was expecting with my first child, I made the decision to feed the baby naturally. I had no idea and, of course, scaredabout the whole situation. I read the book from front to back, and really found some interesting facts,hints, better "how to's and what to do when you are not with your child. Reading this book put me at ease. When I had my second child, 18 months later, it was like riding a bike.
