Product Description

You know breastfeeding sucks when . . .

Your breast pump starts to resemble a medieval torture device
Your latest scent is eau de' cabbage leaves
Your breasts rival Old Faithful as a must-see attraction

If you need to latch on to something with your free hand while your little miracle is latched on to you, then Breastfeeding Sucks is the book for you. Inside, Joanne Kimes covers:

  • How to prepare for breastfeeding before the birth
  • Physical and emotional challenges that face both you and your little leech-er, infant
  • Nursing in public and pumping at the office without feeling like a freak-show attraction
  • Weaning that little tot before his eighth birthday
In the hilarious, real-mom style that made Pregnancy Sucks a hit, Kimes lays it all out. She gives as much mitigating advice as she can muster to reduce the nipple pain, engorgement, fatigue, and frustration that come with breastfeeding. Breastfeeding Sucks is the only book you need on the long road to sippy cups.

1.0 out of 5 stars Breastfeeding Sucks sucks, August 24, 2008
By milkypie (California) - See all my reviews
Breastfeeding Sucks is the worst breastfeeding book I have ever read, and as a lactation consultant, I have read a lot of breastfeeding books. The attempts at humor are not humorous. There are no illustrations, except for pictures of bottles at the tops of the first page in each chapter. Some of the information is misinformation. Don't waste your money on buying it. If you get it as a gift, exchange it for The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers by Newman and Pitman, which is my favorite breastfeeding book. For humorous breastfeeding books, both So That's What They're For by Janet Tamaro and Spilled Milk by Andy Steiner are excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally... a funny AND helpful book about breastfeeding!, September 28, 2008
Thank goodness for Joanne Kimes and her wonderfully witty and informative books. I first found her via "Pregnancy Sucks" and have now moved on to "Breastfeeding Sucks". I find her to be both helpful and engaging (a perfect combination if you're struggling through sleepness nights and can barely follow a single train of thought). Not only does she tackle the basics of breastfeeding, she zeros in on all the specific problems that can arise in trying to get that baby to latch on. To sum it up I'd say you definitely won't be "let down" by this one!
