I found this book complete and satisfying, written in a friendly, conversational tone, with excellent advice and many words of comfort for the breastfeeding family. Mothers will be able to find answers to many of their questions here, and will learn to assess how they and their babies are doing. Pediatricians will appreciate the care with which the signs of dehydration and jaundice are reviewed as well as the guidelines for calling the physician. The Nursing Wheel and the Diaper Wheel for recording the specifics of daily events are well conceived. For mothers who plan to keep careful records the wheels will make that chore pleasant and easy. For mothers who do not plan to make such records the wheels will encourage looking at the events of the days with knowledgeable eyes. The New Mother's Journal is also a thoughtful touch. Good job! I am eager to see this book on bedside tables everywhere!
