5.0 out of 5 stars
Encourages, helps, inspires...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (Mass Market Paperback)
Simply a wonderful book. Written from first hand experience by mothers, but it is far from being without proven medical and scientific background. It is full of encouraging words, practical tips and problem solving solutions. The style is warm and simple without unnecessary long worded, foreign and complicated expressions that makes so many books boring and unreadable to everyday mother. It advices not only on breastfeeding in different situations and with different problems, but also coping with babies, going back to work or staying at home, etc.Strongly recommend to every expectant mother! ANd also to Health professionals!

Much more than breastfeeding information and support!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (Mass Market Paperback)
Being a mother of four (all breastfed children) and expecting my fifth baby soon I decided to read the updated version of this book. The authors eloquently describe the inner woven aspects of breastfeeding and mothering. The autors have gone beyond "parenting philosopy". They have toutched on the core aspects of mothering from the heart which is all too often ignored in our society. The ideas brought forth in this book took me several babies and alot of growing pains to figure out on my own. This book should be required reading for expectant parents.

Every pregnant/nursing mom, and their doctors must read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (Mass Market Paperback)
I finally got around to reading this wonderful book and I am filled with regret that I did not take the time to read it when I was pregnant with my first baby. So many problems could have been avoided. But I am thankful to have read it now and would highly recommend it to anyone hoping/planning to breastfeed their babies. My partner read a lot of information on breastfeeding while I was pregnant and his *informed* support helped me to decide that nursing my babies is the style of parenting I like best! So Dads, this is a good read for you too... This book is the most well-written, supportive book about how to breastfeed and why that I have ever read. It is written in a style that makes it easy to read, not as a textbook... much more humanly. And it is sectioned off so that if there is a subject you are particularly interested in you can easily access that information. It is well-indexed and I came away from it feeling so enthusiastic about nursing my children. Also brings home the fact that each and every one of us make a difference. The organization was started because of seven mothers who all had nursed their children and decided they wanted to help other mothers with the dying art of feeding a child at the breast. Very empowering.
