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 properly increasing your milk supply making nurturing more comfortable breastfeeding in absentia pumps and the new technology associated with breastfeeding making sure your nursing baby gets the proper nutrition breast milk vs. formula breastfeeding and fertility nutrition and fitness while breastfeeding nighttime breastfeeding the father's role in breastfeeding and much more Taking a realistic, contemporary approach, the Searses bring an age-old practice completely up to date. Their encyclopedic guide to the art and science of breastfeeding enables all women to experience and enjoy one of natures most rewarding relationships." Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I LOVE this book!I am pregnant, expecting my first child, and I really want to breastfeed. This book helped me to realize that almost anyone who wants to, can! It tells you what to do with any kind of breastfeeding difficulty and reassures you that there are a lot of resources nearby when you need help. I am now confident that I'll be able to do it, and I've been recommending it to all of my pregnant friends who want to breastfeed. Rating: - Make sure you pick the right breastfeeding guide!The Breastfeeding Book is another helpful and evidence-based guide from the Sears Family. Here, Martha Sears, RN, takes the lead as the nursing mother of 8 children, and warmly explains all the ins and outs of breastfeeding. It of course outlines the benefits of breastfeeding and the risks of not breastfeeding your baby, which are extremely compelling. But, it also provides the practical aspects of getting the job done, whether you are lucky enough to have smooth sailing, or whether you find yourself ...

I was able to cure my painful latch on problems and my sore nipples using the advice in this book. I did not realize how interconnected the whole system really is and had received amazingly bad advice from friends, family and even a pediatrician. My baby's bad latch made my nipples so sore that I was ending feedings early (cause it hurt). Because she was not ... Read More Rating: - Breast is bestI love all of Dr. Sears books and this one is no different. Reading and understanding is important if you want to breastfeed. There really is so much joy and pride for giving your baby the best only you can give him/her. This book really helps you understand the basics, benefits, different feeding positions, reasons to breastfeed and continue to breastfeed among many other things. Rating:  - Get The Baby Book insteadAfter 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 ...
