Book Reviews of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding: Seventh Revised Edition (La Leche League International Book)

Book Review: Too judgemental and pushy
Summary: 2 Stars

I really do not like this book. I am all for breastfeeding but in this book they really talk down to you and act like you are terrible if for some reason you choose not to or can't breastfeed. Also they don't give you a whole lot of helpful advice on how to do it, they try but The Nursing Mother's Companion and Spilled Milk are two books that you should buy instead of this one.

Summary of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding: Seventh Revised Edition (La Leche League International Book)

All parents want the best for their babies, and there's no doubt about the fact that human milk is the ideal food for human babies. What's the secret of successful breastfeeding? For almost fifty years mothers who have been in touch with La Leche League have found the kind of information and support they needed to breastfeed their babies.

In this newly revised edition of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, you will learn:

. How human milk offers lifetime benefits for your baby
. How to prepare for breastfeeding during pregnancy
. How to exercise and lose weight safely while nursing
. How to find time for yourself while meeting baby's needs
. How to increase your milk supply by using herbs and medications
. How to be sure your baby is getting enough to eat

The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding was the first book of its kind, written for mothers by mothers. Over the years, more than two million mothers have turned to it for information and inspiration.
