From Library Journal
Wiggins, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and teacher of breastfeeding classes for over 20 years, has written a mother-friendly, easy-to-read guide to breastfeeding. It strongly urges women to breastfeed and presents information that will contribute to successful breastfeeding, including current recommendations on techniques as well as the problems a nursing mother may encounter. This is an excellent resource for mothers and mothers-to-be as well as for healthcare professionals. It is nicely indexed and referenced; an appendix, written by a pharmacologist, deals with medication use during breastfeeding. While not as comprehensive as the 480-page classic issued by La Leche League, The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (NAL Dutton, 1997. rev. ed.), this book is warmly recommended for individual purchase and for public and health sciences collections because of its style, content, and message.ALinda M.G.
