Rating:  - Not as useful as hoping for
I was hoping for alot more information from this book.I have only skimmed through the reading maaterial. I am a mom of three and have attempted to breastfeed everytime so naturally I knew a pretty good bit, but as with each child you experience new things and so I was hoping to get some helpful notes to try and help build milk suplly to meet my daughters demand- gfor some reason I have always had to supplement. Anyway- unless you are new to breastfeeding this book is not for you. All the basics are ... Read More
Rating:  - Shallow and Incomplete
I disagree with the reviewers that say the coverage is encyclopedic. On the contrary, every time I try to look up something in the book, I come away disappointed. Flat nipples, plugged milk ducts, mastitis, blisters on nipples -- either I can find nothing on the subject or at most a paragraph that isn't helpful. I generally like Dummies books, but this is the worst one I've ever seen.
Rating:  - Great for new moms
A very informative and comprehensive read, especially for new moms. I specifically like the encyclopedic nature of the book...easy to look up various topics of interest and/or concern. But I also liked the personal feel the authors gave to it...short anecdotes, personal opinions, etc. The book is encouraging without being pushy. It helped this new mom figure out nursing very quickly.
Rating: - Everything You Need to Know...
This book is packed full of everything you need to know about breastfeeding. Even better, the information is easy to find, which as any new mom will tell you, is essential those first hectic weeks and throughout a baby's infancy. Before giving the book to a friend who's expecting, I wanted to make sure it would stand up to any question she would have and any situation she might encounter. So I thought back to my own experiences, first with my daughter, then with my twin boys. Every doubt I had, every ... Read More
Rating: - Breastfeeding for Dummies
Excellent book. Would recommend for any women not decided on breastfeeding. This book simplifies and natural process that should be considered by every pregnancy women. Breastfeeding for the long or short term is eloquently described in this book
