Synopsis

We cheer “Breastfeeding! Yay!” on social media, and around our female friends with feminist pride. But at 3 a.m. you may be cudgeling yourself with, “Oh, dear god, what have we done?” Intellectually, we all know it’s better for our babies, and instinctually, many of us want to do it. But our pregnant daydreaming does little to prepare us for the pain, frustration, self-judgment, and fear that we may experience by choosing to breastfeed. 
Breastfeeding can be all angels and rainbows. But more often it is an unlatching baby screaming at you, cracked nipples that feel like they’re being held in a vice-grip and licked by a cat, 3 a.m. freak-outs, explosively painful engorged boobs, flu-like mastitis. And then there’s pumping. And that is why, even considering breastfeeding makes you a saint. 
We tell ourselves that breastfeeding is natural, and therefore we should all be able to do it. While it is natural, it is not easy. This book is for every woman who found the truth of breastfeeding to be somewhat askew from her pre-baby fantasies, and for every woman who does not want to be taken by surprise by the latch – or lack there of. 
This book is not intended for diagnosis, but for entertainment and commiseration.
Includes topics like:Latching onto Latching Screaming at the BreastNursing Mothers Do it in GroupsThe Good, the Bad and the Ugly of PumpingWoman vs the CoverAnd Then There Were TeethThe Bottle BattleMastitis, Engorgement and Other Pains in the Boob

Goodreads review by Daniël on January 24, 2015

Read it in two sittings in the train, great book. It allowed me to get an idea of the issues that my girlfriend and other women have breastfeeding. Although this book is good, I'm cautious in recommending this book as it briefly mentions chiropracty as a remedy for the author's baby's trouble with br......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on April 28, 2016

This was a fun, fast read that definitely does not hide the difficulties of breastfeeding. In fact, it highlights them to the point that it's what the book is about. If you want a book about how to breastfeed and the techniques and such.... this is not the book you are looking for. If you are lookin......more
