Excellent resource for new moms!!!

) I love the way this book explains everything clearly about breastfeeding. It starts with the basics in the first weeks to months of having a newborn and gives great information for continuing to nurse through the later months and returning to work. This book explains problem solving for colicky babies, nightwaking, nipple confusion, and more. The book is organized so the reader can easily find their topic of interest. I would recommend this book to new moms or even as a refresher for those who haven't breastfeed in a while. I know that I will keep this book handy. It has given me the confidence to continue nursing after I return to work.

) I love this book. It is a great reference and guide for anyone considering or in the midst of breatfeeding. It is broken into sections according to the baby's age for quick retrieval of information with helpful review guides at the end of each chapter. To read it from cover to cover, it felt quite repetative, but knowing that I will not miss anything by going to the chapter designated by my baby's age is more than reassuring. This would be a great resource for any mother considering breastfeeding, whether they plan to do it for 3 weeks or 3 years. I really learned a lot, even though I didn't read it until after I had nursed both of my babies for 1+ years each.
Best book I read on brestfeeding!

The Nursing Mother's Companion has great chapters to read before the baby is born and is divided into sections based on your baby's age. It is a wonderful trouble shooting guide for various difficulties and problems and includes step-by-step instructions for resolving them. I have other books on nursing, but this is the one I turn to first because it has very basic and practical advice and information. Easy to read when you are short on sleep with a newborn! I am buying it for my friend who is expecting because it was such a help to me.
Great for all stages of nursing

This is a wonderful book that came highly recommended to me from several friends. I love that the book explains how the nursing relationship changes over time. I referred to it over and over again throughout my son's first year. The book discusses what is "normal" and how to problem solve. This book is now my standby baby shower gift for any new to nursing moms.

I nursed both of my children each for two year I used this book probably once a month each time. Full of accuate information about nursing, but not pushy about it, doesn't poo poo the use of formula like some books. Very convenient drug index that lets you know the affects on breast milk of drugs from cold meds to crack. Also has phone numbers where you can get information if you can't find it in the book. If you or anyone you know is nursing, get this book!
