'I love your book! Very well-written and researched and great drawings too.' -- SUE GERHARDT, author of Why Love Matters: How Affection Shapes a Baby's Brain
'Vibrant, exciting, funny - there's really nothing else like it. It's so honest and based on up-to-date research.' -- SHEILA KITZINGER
This book is meant as a funny, handy guide to help new mothers enjoy their baby and is a valuable addition to the existing literature on the emotive subject of breastfeeding. The book is easy to read and... includes numerous pictures to look at if you are feeling too tired or brain-dead to read. It is a fun way to present the advantages of breastfeeding, yet Kate Evans has also included the latest facts and research surrounding breastfeeding... The Food of Love will meet the needs of many new mums and is likely to be of use to breastfeeding counsellors, antenatal teachers, midwives and health professionals. -- New Digest NCT Newsletter

By J. Surnina
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

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.

As a General Practitioner and a mother I would highly recommend this book to anyone considering breastfeeding. It offers support during difficult moments. The facts are all spot on and it's presented in a beautiful and highly readable format.
