review 1: I found this book a little late in the game of breastfeeding my first child. From the beginning I had a rocky time. So many ups and downs. So after 6 months of exhaustive nursing and pumping I was still having a multitude of problems with my milk production. It's so unnerving. My daughter wasn't getting enough milk and she was really suffering growth wise as she went from the 5th percentile to the 3rd. So plague with all this guilt and fear that I wasn't able to give my daughter what she needed nutritionally I still knew that going with the breast was best. I had come that far and I wasn't ready to give up.I can across this book and it truly did help me. It helped me figure out approximately how much I was actually making which sadly wasn't a lot, but with the help and gui... moredance in certain directions that book offered suggestions in I was able to nurse 3 months longer. I found it as a very helpful reference book along with the Sears' The Breastfeeding Book as a helpful companions in the rocky, rollarcoaster world of breastfeeding.
review 2: This was a really good book, especially considering the difficulties I had with breastfeeding. While I can't go back and change what already happened, I can be more confident about future breastfeeding endeavors. The chapter on emotional reasons for low milk supply and the feelings associated with the entire process were particularly validating. From that standpoint, this book was healing for me.If you had trouble breastfeeding but plan to try again with a new baby, or if you've never breastfed and want to know how to be sure you're doing the best you can, this is a good place to start! less
