Breast feeding books

[jellyjelly]

Has anyone read a really good breastfeeding book that you can recomdend?

here

I am with a local NCT group,the lady that runs it is fantastic and answered all my questions re;breastfeeding,so i cant recommend a book,sorry

Sorry - I get all my info from the ladies here and from kellymom.com

"womanly art of breastfeeding" from LLL is excellent

One called "so that's what they're for!" which is a little american but I remember enjoying it when ds was around 5 weeks old.

We saw a very well known bf counsellor at the John Radcliffe, Oxford. She has written a book with two others:

Bestfeeding: Why Breast Feeding is Best for You and Your Baby
Mary Renfrew, Chloe Fisher, Suzanne Arms

here at Amazon

this book was my bible

The index gave you every problem you could think of, so it wasn't necessary to read it from front to back.

hiya mears. Hope new job still OK. dd now a big baby - tripled birth weight, drinking 250mil 4 or 5 times a day ! A very happy and easy and sleepy baby ! Thanks for all your help in the early days !

Can I second the recommendation of Bestfeeding - really eoncouraged me to do it. All my Qs
have been answered over 7 1/2 months(and still going), and i really rate the advice and the practical help eg with pictures of a good hold etc.

Can I suggest that breastfeeding babies is a wiser idea?

Books aren't very good at latch, and they get really soggy.

Nice to see you Hub - glad Camille is thriving
