If you like Kitzinger's "Earth Mother" style of writing this is an excellent book. With wonderful photographs of babies feeding in all kinds of different positions, it's not at all prescriptive, and makes you feel marvellous about breastfeeding.
It is a teeny bit out of date now (when will we have an updated version I wonder) but still I wish I'd discovered this when I was having problems as it could have saved me weeks of hassle. The way it describes a "typical feed" is excellent - unlike so many books, it points out that there is no typical feed, really.
Also unlike some other authors, she is not funny about leaving baby with a bottle of EBM, so you don't feel guilty about having an evening off!
It's very "go with it" style was perfect for me, and made me feel like I was doing everything write.

An essential guide for breastfeeding women

Sheila Kitzinger brings her knowledge and experience to light in this extremely-well-illustrated (superb photos!) guide to breastfeeding. She includes what to expect, what is normal, and what problems may arise. This would be a wonderful gift for a new mom. I love this book and highly recommend it as a first-read for those women who are breastfeeding or thinking about breastfeeding

The only breastfeeding book you'll ever need.

This book is for the mother who knows she is going to nurse. Not those two weekers out there! My son is now 2 and I reached my goal of a year of nursing + a couple extra months. This book reassures you that we were meant for this. Also, there must be a colored illustration on like almost every page. Read this book as soon as you find out you are pregnant so you can start preparing yourself, if need be. This book is and will be more helpful then any nurse or doctor I've encountered. I'M SO THANKFULL I HAD THIS BOOK. I let one of my girlfriends borrow it but I'm sure I'll have to buy my own again.

A wonderful place to start

I loved this book when I used it as a reference when I was nursing all of my four children. It is proudly displayed in my book collection. The photos are wonderful. They show such diversity that any mother can find a photo to identify with in the book. I also enjoy this book because it is a great way to show children how nursing a baby is a normal natural thing. The drawings in other books cannot capture that same feeling. When my daughters areready to nurse their babies this a book that I will pass on to them.
