Synopsis

Breastfeeding is the natural and healthy way to nourish your baby, yet it's not always easy. New mothers need practical information about getting off to a good start and solving breastfeeding challenges. Health professionals need this information too, because it is rarely taught in medical school. Dr. Jack Newman's Guide to Breastfeeding covers the most common problems and questions that mothers encounter: How do I help my baby to get a good latch? How can I know if my baby is getting enough milk? How can I help him get more? Can I avoid sore nipples? Will my medication affect my baby? How do I fit breastfeeding into my life when I'm so busy?

The answers are here. Dr. Jack Newman and Teresa Pitman are two of the foremost lactation experts in Canada and have helped tens of thousands of new mothers find solutions that work. In this comprehensive guide, they share the most current information about breastfeeding and provide new, effective strategies and solutions to make breastfeeding work for you.

To be honest, I couldn't finish this book. It is very one note, and though there is a lot of advice for many issues, a lot of the tone felt very negative. Take this review with a grain of salt, I am a sleep deprived, hormone riddled, new mamma and am having some troubles with breastfeeding. I may ju......more

Goodreads review by Miruna on December 30, 2024

To be honest, my takeaway from this book was How Not To Breastfeed, not exactly How To Breastfeed Succesfully. Gore-ish pictures of chewed-through nipples didn’t exactly help much. However, there is important information in there, mostly about how milk production works, how babies are best placed at......more

Goodreads review by Alexandra on September 24, 2021

The book has good information, but it could be summarized in a smaller no of pages. The doctor is a bit of an activist an extremist when it comes to breastfeeding, although with a good intention: breast milk is indeed way better than formula. The arguments with the African tribes are a bit silly. I......more
