Review
'Amazing - I laughed out loud.' - DAVINA MCCALL 'There's really nothing like it. It's so honest. Vibrant, exciting funny - and based on up-to-date research.' - SHEILA KITZINGER 'Very well written and researched - and great drawings too.' - SUE GERHARDT, author of Why Love Matters: How affection shapes a baby's brain 'One of the wittiest books about breastfeeding I've had the pleasure of reading...extremely well-written and bursting with thoroughly researched breastfeeding information. Covering everything from the first feeds to co-sleeping, it explains all you need to know about breastfeeding in a very comforting and inspirational fashion. A fabulous read...If you're looking for a great gift to give an expectant mother or a new mother who is breastfeeding, then this is the one.' - BREASTFEEDING MUMS BLOG 'Delightful - genuinely hard to put down, because it was so very readable. Kate's book is also sound and accurate - she uses research-based evidence as well as personal experience and shows how many mothers cope with a variety of initial difficulties and overcome them. As a breastfeeding counsellor and trainer of peer supporters I love this book - it is truly mother-and-baby-centred.' - CATHY FRY, NCT BREASTFEEDING COUNSELLOR 'What a fantastic book! More like a chat over a coffee with a good friend than a text book, Evans' approach - although completely pro-breastfeeding - is totally non-threatening or 'preachy' and is packed full of really useful advice and tips. The NHS should provide every pregnant woman with a copy.' THE HOLISTIC PARENT 'Honest advice and easy-to-follow diagrams, including a hilarious chapter on "Mama Sutra" explaining advanced breastfeeding positions...A laugh-out-loud approach to encourage mums to persevere with breastfeeding.' - PRESS ASSOCIATION 'Refreshing in so many ways: beautiful to look at (the cartoons are wonderful); informative and - best of all - funny. I genuinely haven't been as excited about a breastfeeding book since Fresh Milk.' ASSOCIATION OF BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS 'A funny, handy guide to help new mothers enjoy their baby and a valuable addition to the existing literature. Cartoon drawings successfully convey the message that breastfeeding is lovely and easy, yet Kate Evans also includes the latest facts and research surrounding breastfeeding as well as a useful section on further resources and references. Full of practical tips, it will meet the needs of many new mums and be of use to breastfeeding counsellors, antenatal teachers, midwives and health professionals.' - NEW DIGEST, NCT MAGAZINE 'Reading this book really does feel like chatting to a friend.' - ASSOCIATION OF BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS MAGAZINE 'Kate's book is the closest companion to a 24-hour breastfeeding support worker than I can imagine. What's more, it will make you laugh, which is essential when new parenthood is overwhelming you.' Community midwife Ali Dale, RN

Like many I spent most my pregnancy preparing for and fussing about the big day. I was totally unprepared for what came after. The breatsfeeding turned out to be the most difficult and demanding thing I have ever done. I was torn between different advice on how to feed: to have a schedule or not to have one, to let the baby fall asleep on a breast or not, to give him formula supplement at night to make him sleep better or not etc. At one point I got myself so worked up about the fact my son was not fitting into a "normal" baby behaviour (not sleeping through the night when 3 months old, wanting to be fed every 2 hours or less, not wanting to sleep happily on his own in his cot at night) that I had finally dragged myself to a local breastfeeding session. That's where I was recommended to read this book which is apparently the only one based on the latest research on breastfeeding, crying it out method and early baby development (unlike Gina Ford's and many others). It changed my life. It made me feel good about what I was doing and the fact that I was following my instincts rather than sticking to advice based primarily on bottle fed babies and given by men or nurses with no children of their own! This book is a must for everyone who wants to breastfeed and follow the lastest World Health Organisation advice on breatsfeeding.

Format:Paperback
I bought this book early on in my breastfeeding journey and am so glad I did. There is lots of well researched and well presented information in this book. The writing style is perfect - just the right mix of knowledge, personal experience and a friendly shoulder. It sits open on it's own which is great - breastfeeding means learning to do things one handed but it's fab that you can lay it down and read it without having to hold it open! The illustrations are good - very funny! If you are a newbie to breastfeeding (as I was), this is great for reassurance, it's not too heavy reading, and is actually an overall enjoyable read. Definitely worth 5 stars and I would give it more if I could!

I cannot praise this book enough. It covers everything that a Mum and her nearest and dearest need to know about breast feeding and making it an enjoyable success. Don't suffer cracked nipples or wonder if your child's feeding patterns are normal, this wonderfully illustrated, easy to read book is on hand to help tired and befuddled parents. Also a good point to start if you have friends/family who are resistant to the idea of you breastfeeding. It isn't patronising and it can be easily picked up and put down to be read in segments, which is often useful with a new born around. It is also bound in such a way so as to stay open at the page you're reading easiy, so could be read with your hands other wise engaged eg breastfeeding. I would also recommend this book to pregnant Mums who are thinking about breastfeeding, it could give you confidence to give it a good go.
