This is a great book for first time breastfeeders. Just the right amount of information and you have the security that, coming from the NCT, its going to be accurate, research based information. Every woman coming to breastfeeding for the first time should be issued this book in pregnancy - it covers not only the common things like positioning and how milk is made but also common problems too.

Ok as far as it goes but only covers the bare essentials - good if your baby has turned up in a hurry and you don't have time to read more than a few pages! Other books (such as 'So that's what their for') contain more information that answers more questions

EXCELLENT - I did not read this book until about 6 weeks after my son was born, but I found it excellent, it answered so many questions and put my mind at rest about breast feeding.
Read it before your baby is born and refer it to during the early weeks - it does get easier trust me.

There are much better books out there
I found this book far too prescriptive and not very helpful at all. I actually put it in the bin and relied entirely on 'So That's What They're For'.

Great resource for a beginner!
