Summary

It's no secret that breastfeeding is the normal, healthy way to nourish and nurture your baby. Dedicated to supporting nursing and expectant mothers, the internationally respected La Leche League has set the standard for educating and empowering mothers in this natural art for generations. Now their classic best-selling guide has been retooled, refocused, and updated for today's mothers and lifestyles.

Working mothers, stay-at-home moms, single moms, and mothers of multiples will all benefit from the book's range of nursing advice, stories, and information - from preparing for breastfeeding during pregnancy to feeding cues, from nursing positions to expressing and storing breast milk. This ultimate support bible offers:

  • Real-mom wisdom on breastfeeding comfortably
  • New insights into old approaches toward latching and attaching, ages and stages, and answers to the most-asked questions
  • Recent scientific data that highlight the many lifelong health benefits of breastfeeding
  • Helpful tips for building your support network - at home or when back at work guidance on breast health issues, weight gain, day care, colic, postpartum depression, food allergies, and medications

Narrator ruined it for me

Struggled to finish, didn't actually finish. Think reading would be better for something like this. I can't stand the lady's voice. Sorry! She narrated another book and it also ruined that story for me too.

Excellent resource but needs chapter titles

The information in this book helped me with my breastfeeding journey. I absolutely loved every moment of feeding and found it all so fascinating. Although I love an audio book, I think this one would have been better as a physical copy so I could revisit chapters when I encountered difficulties/challenges. This audiobook doesn't have chapter titles or descriptions, so if something isn't relevant when listening but is relevant once you've finished the book, it's difficult to find the right spot again. My only complaint.

Good overview

I very much enjoy listening this book on the walks with my little one. It gave me good overview of possible challenges during breastfeeding.

The complete guide to breastfeeding

I work as a breastfeeding supporter and periodically re read this book and learn something new each time. I highly recommend to new and expectant mothers, their partners and Health Care professionals.
