Editorial Review: Product Description: An Amazing Resource for Nursing Moms Although breastfeeding is the natural and healthy way to nourish your baby, it’s not always easy. Many new mothers are scared away from nursing because of difficulty getting started and lack of information about what to do when things don’t go as planned. In this fully revised and updated edition of The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers, two of today’s foremost lactation experts help new mothers overcome their fears, doubts, and practical concerns about one of the most special ways a mother can bond with her baby. In this comprehensive guide, Dr. Jack Newman, a leading authority on infant care, and Teresa Pitman, a La Leche League leader for more than twenty years, give you the facts about breastfeeding and provide solutions for the common problems that arise. Filled with the same practical advice that made the first edition a must-have for nursing moms, the new edition features updates on: • Achieving a good latch • What to do if your baby refuses the breast • Avoiding sore nipples • Ensuring your baby gets enough milk • Feeding a colicky baby • Breastfeeding premature and special-needs babies Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Thank you Dr. Newman!With the rise of the nuclear family, there has been a decrease in the number of women who breast feed. We no longer have a village raising a child, and there are limited resources for those who want to nurse. I can't just ask the women of my village for help, not here in my suburban subdivision. This book and Dr. Newman's website have helped me to breastfeed my baby exclusively for four months now. I've gone back to work and am expressing milk, and I got advice on how to help my sitter feed expressed ...

He's a big advocate! Rating:  - No problem too big for this bookI borrowed this from my local library a couple of weeks before my daughter was born. I chose it because of the plentiful illustrations that I thought would help me establish a good latch. How wrong I was! Though there are lots of pictures and explainations on how to achieve a good latch, I found I needed the hands-on help of an LC to actually get it. Pictures just weren't enough. However, the real value of this book was something I had not taken into account when choosing it. ...

The tone of the book is very sanctimonious, especially with respect to the use of any medications during labor and any ... Read More Rating:  - This book covered the basics but didn't address problems I had with my babyI own the previous version of this book and I found that it covered the basics of breastfeeding pretty well. However, I took a 2-hour breastfeeding class at my hospital that covered most of the same information. I was well-educated on breastfeeding when my son was born and I knew what to do, but he didn't. At first I interpreted his crying and head wagging as him not wanting to eat but weeks later I figured out that he was just so excited about eating that he couldn't calm himself down enough to do it. ...
