Book Reviews of The Breastfeeding Book: Everything You Need to Know About Nursing Your Child from Birth Through Weaning
Book Review: Get The Baby Book instead
Summary: 3 Stars
After buying this book, I learned a little secret about the Sears' line of books. If you start buying the entire collection, you will find a lot of crossover material! This book on its own is a good resource. There is nothing wrong with it. HOWEVER, I HIGHLY recommend getting Sears' The Baby Book instead. You will find almost everything you need about breastfeeding within this book PLUS a lot of other useful information about baby's first year. In my opinion, it is a much better investment. If you want a book just on breastfeeding, I recommend La Leche League's The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. I took this book with me to the hospital and referred to it often. There was even a section on jaundice, which I didn't even know I would need until the doctor and nurses started talking about my child's bilirubin count. I was able to feel much more confident in my discussions with them after reading that section. I still refer to it as time goes on and breastfeeding questions arise (my child is now five months old).
Also, Dr. Sears is not apologetic about his belief in the attachment parenting style of raising children. After reading some reviews, I am guessing that is where the "be prepared for guilt" comments come in. There are many differing views on parenting styles. This one focuses on AP. I don't know a mother yet who can't find guilt about something. I try to focus on learning the different styles and using what works for us. Just my two cents about that! Happy breastfeeding!

Summary of The Breastfeeding Book: Everything You Need to Know About Nursing Your Child from Birth Through Weaning
"How would you like to give your baby a gift that could raise his IQ by 10 points; cut medical bills; make your baby's eyes, heart, intestines, and nearly every other organ work better; reduce the risk of life-shortening, debilitating diseases, such as diabetes; and help your baby avoid many of the common complaints of infancy, such as ear infections, tummy upsets, even diaper rash? Whats the magic gift that can do all these things? Your milk!.... Breastfeeding will make it easier to care for your baby, and it will make it easier for you to know and understand your baby. It will affect the way you listen to your child, the way you communicate, the way you respond for many years to come....In the early days of learning to breastfeed, there may be times when you feel like tossing in the nursing bra and reaching for a bottle. You may be tempted to believe those advisers who suggest that formula feeding is easier, or just as good. Or, you may worry that you're "not the type" of mother who succeeds at breastfeeding. Yet, when you remember how breastfeeding benefits your baby, your family, and yourself, you will find the determination you need to overcome any obstacles and master the womanly art of breastfeeding. From America's foremost baby and childcare experts--the new breastfeeding biblefor nursing mothers. In recent years there has been a tremendous resurgence of interest in breastfeeding as American women have discovered its unparalleled benefits to both mother and child. Yet first-time mothers often lack the support and the knowledge they need to breastfeed successfully. And books on breastfeeding frequently fail to address the practical challenges that confront many women (especially women who work outside the home)when they choose to breastfeed. For today's nursing mothers, The Breastfeeding Book is a godsend--with comprehensive, reassuring, authoritative information on: how to get started, with illustrated tips for getting your baby latched on properlyincreasing your milk supply
making nurturing more comfortable
breastfeeding in absentia
pumps and the new technology associated with breastfeeding

and much more
