I wish I read this before I gave birth

Ina May Gaskin gives the best advice , I loved the stories from the farm & all the information about breastfeeding has been such a great help even 7 months in! Would recommend to anyone who wants to or who is breastfeeding also to those support functions like family, partners & doulas.

Interesting but does not teach you how to effectively breatafeed

So this is a good book. It’s full of info and more of a “oh that’s interesting” kindof vibe. But it doesn’t TEACH breastfeeding. Or teach latching. It refers to “good latches” but doesn’t actually describe them
Or anything. There’s some good info like, what to do if this happens or how to recognise mastitis etc but this is not educational on the act of breastfeeding. More like the history and benefits of same.
