I normally do not do in-depth reviews of books that expired before I read it all, but given the timing of this book and what I did manage to get through when I had the book, it is one I had to talk about!
This is a book that is mentioned in the introduction as a must have for women who plan to breastfeed either as part or the whole of the regime. I have been feeding almost exclusively for a while since my delivery and have had my ups and downs with regards to the experience. Mostly it’s been positive. There are certain advantages to listening to age old practices with regards to diet, because it definitely helped me make and provide more milk.
This book is for almost everything else. It is a comprehensive book, one that I would recommend women read even before or instead of ‘what to expect..’.
I will not go into the technical details except to say helpful diagrams and scientific facts accompany a lot of the text making it easy to peruse and find what exactly one is looking for.
I would highly recommend circulating this book as and when a woman is pregnant and expresses a desire to feed initially.
I received an ARC thanks to Netgalley and the publishers but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience and my experience with breastfeeding itself.
