Synopsis

The ultimate modern-day breastfeeding guide, with empowering, medically sound advice and solutions for the trickiest issues—from a pioneering ENT doctor and breastfeeding expert.

In today’s breastfeeding-friendly environment, the pressure to nurse is intense. We hear over and over that breastfeeding is natural, and every woman can do it. The truth is, the majority of moms need help breastfeeding, but they’re forced to sift through varying viewpoints from a dizzying host of sources instead of being able to turn to a doctor for advice. And when breastfeeding doesn’t work, they’re the ones getting blamed for failure. 
 
In Better Breastfeeding, you will find information, not opinions: science-backed facts to help you make informed decisions, without feeling ashamed or bullied. Dr. Linda Dahl presents a new paradigm for breastfeeding based on diagnosing and treating mothers and babies using anatomy and physiology, offering a comprehensive overview of how breastfeeding works, why it fails, and what to do about it. Dr. Dahl takes you through the basics of breastfeeding in a week-by-week guide and explores solutions for little-understood difficulties like gape restriction and tongue tie, nipple and breast pain, issues with milk supply, or abnormal nursing behaviors.
 
Better Breastfeeding is the no-holds-barred primer that every mom needs before and during her breastfeeding journey so she can advocate for herself and her baby.

Goodreads review by Lola on April 18, 2024

This was by far the most realistic and informative breastfeeding book I read. IMO even better than the hospital-led breastfeeding class. Dr. Linda Dahl is truly an expert in gape restriction, nipple aversion, and frenulectomies. I really like how no-nonsense her medical advice is. This is the first......more

Goodreads review by Jason on April 06, 2022

Overall, this is well done, an all encompassing review of breastfeeding, its potential complications, and ways ahead from a female, maternal perspective. From this viewpoint, this truly has the potential to be motivational and inspirational for mothers, physicians and others alike. The author is a mo......more

Goodreads review by Amanda on March 17, 2023

The author writes about tongue tie and gape restriction as one of the most reliable sources in the medical field right now (which hint - your dentist is probably not qualified and your lactation consultant may not be either). I really appreciated her take on the history of both complications as well......more

Goodreads review by Karla on November 30, 2022

I feel much more confident about breastfeeding after reading this! It seems that so many resources don’t go into the details of the mechanics and anatomy behind breastfeeding, but this one does without being too dry. With that background established, the variety of problems that many moms run into m......more

Quotes

“I really wish this book had been around when I was having my babies. Linda has made the information that we actually need and want available to us all in a straightforward, accessible, easy-to-comprehend way, never losing sight of how fraught these early days of motherhood can be. She has given us all a gift.”—Brooke Shields

“It is so refreshing to hear someone demystify breastfeeding! Every woman’s breastfeeding journey is her own and full of unique challenges. I’m excited about Dr. Dahl’s direct approach to the complexities of breastfeeding.”—Connie Simpson, author of The Nanny Connie Way
