Product Description

Breastfeeding may be natural, but it certainly isn't easy. That's why Andi Silverman wrote Mama Knows Breast, a beginner's guide that's full of friendly, frank, and reassuring advice.

They'll also learn the straight scoop on gnawing infants, unexpected leaks, ill-fitting clothes, and bewildered spouses. Other topics include:

The pros and the cons of breastfeeding
When, where, and how to breastfeed in public
Feeling sexy in a nursing bra
Breastfeeding at the office

Written by a mom who has been there, and packed with anecdotes by women from a variety of backgrounds, Mama Knows Breast is a beautifully illustrated gift for new mothers everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource that would make a thoughtful, unique gift!, August 28, 2007
By Kelli Oliver-George (Olathe, ks United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In short, this is a quick, easy, interesting read that will make an excellent gift for a mother - new or experienced. The author has an engaging tone and a moderate, non-judgmental voice that should make any mother feel at ease, even if she ends up supplementing or not breastfeeding at all. I would feel totally comfortable giving this as a gift, without feeling pushy towards the mother.

The illustrations are quirky and the text is light and humorous. I enjoyed that because breastfeeding can be very stressful, scary and downright painful to a new mother. Per my quick Amazon searches, there simply aren't many fun, positive books regarding breastfeeding. Who wants to read a textbook if they don't have to? I'd rather have a friend holding my hand - and this book does just that by walking you through it in a reassuring and comforting manner.

Again, I think this would be a great, unique gift for a mother planning to breastfeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Breastfeeding "Manual" for Moms, September 29, 2007
Andi Silverman has written a really down to earth breastfeeding book. The text is filled with truthful and humorous quotes from moms and interesting data points, enough to make you laugh at 3 a.m. while you're feeding. The illustrations are also very sleek, educational and entertaining.

I counsel new mothers all the time and this is the positive, easy-to-read text to help get them through some of the more practical issues that they deal with on a day-to-day basis with their babes, from figuring out how to breastfeed in public, to answering the inevitable questions about breastfeeding, to keeping connected to their partners...and Silverman does it all with flare and style.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for nursing mothers!, August 23, 2007
Andi Silverman's new book, "Mama Knows Breast: A Beginner's Guide to Breastfeeding" mamaknowsbreast.com) is fun to read, easy to digest, attractive to look at and packed with "real life" tips, resources and "how to" information on nursing that acknowledges breastfeeding isn't always as easy as it looks. Kudos to Andi for birthing a great resource for moms! For so many mothers, myself included, nursing was not as simple as sticking our child on the breast--this wonderful resource acknowledges the realities of nursing and supports mothers emotionally and physically during this important time. I look forward to recommending it to all my Personal Renewal Group Facilitators! ReneeTrudeau.com, life balance coach and author of "The Mother's Guide to Self-Renewal."
