I loved the book with the exception that it made you feel like they were pushing home births. A great read if you don’t take it personally (Aug 14, 2020)

Informative but very very crunchy. It lays out the ideal but does not really present anything else. As a first time mom, I found their recommendations impossible to live up to leaving me with guilt. Dec 23, 2020

This book offers more than just breastfeeding advice. It is a great general reference guide. However, it is also a lifesaver when it comes to breastfeeding issues. Highly recommend. Jul 16, 2018

I have mixed feelings about this book. Pros: extremely comprehensive and full of unique nursing advice. Cons: not for the modern woman. Will probably make you feel guilty unless you nurse for 2+ years Feb 06, 2018

I wanted to like this, but I expected something more practical. I'm about as pro-breastfeeding as you can be and I rolled my eyes so much I thought they might get stuck, Liz Lemon-style. Skip. Feb 03, 2014
As someone who struggled to breast feed due to massive blood loss after birth, i felt the message in this book was to just "try harder" & anyone who tried enough could breastfeed - not helpful for me. Feb 01, 2014
