Womanly Art of Breastfeeding by Gwen Gotsch and LA Leche League International (2004, Paperback, Illustrated)

Very complete and easy to read, The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding is an essential guide to help all mothers who want to breastfeed. A must have.

This is a great book to read before you give birth, and to have around for a reference when the baby comes. It is very positive and empowering. The book addresses the many issues that can make breastfeeding difficult, but makes all of the issues sound manageable.

I bought this book because it was listed as a resource when studying for my LCCE exam. Easy read....user friendly. Very helpful guide....I would recommend this book to expectant/new mom's who are contemplating breasfeeding.

I bought this book after the birst of my first baby, when I experienced trouble nursing. I might have stopped, but turned to this book as a reference to help solve some of the problems I was having. What I found in this book was solid advice, support for my efforts, and new knowledge about the entire process of nursing. I was more educated about nursing after having read it, and was able to resolve my nursing difficulties nursing with its help. In this book, you will find how-to information, including tasteful pictures, of the basics of nursing, and troubleshooting (everything from latch problems to mom's dietary considerations). You will also find lots of naturalistic, holistic advice. But even if you don't subscribe to that way of thinking, there is plenty of good, useful, and smart advice.

My word of advice, however, is to read this book prior to the birth of your baby. Had I studied more before my baby's birth, I might have had an easier time at the beginning. This book is the perfect study aid.
