Search - The Nursing Mother's Companion

Great book, accessible, good companion to "The Womanly Art..." (which is published via the La Leche League). Handy guide to have when breastfeeding, esp. for the first time around. On the required reading list for ALACE (Association of Labor Assistants and Childbirth Educators).

BEST book I came across for nursing/breastfeeding. It answered SO many of my questions and found it as first time mom about 3 months into nursing (after reading a few other books on topic). Wished I would have had it from the beginning. I buy this for every new mother I know (that is interested in breastfeeding). WONDERFUL resource!!!

This book is everything the previous reviews say it is. I found it to be the best reference book of all the ones I had. If you aren't breastfeeding, give it to someone you know who is going to!

Must have resource

The hospital gave me a small abridged booklet from this book and it was immensely helpful with my second baby (second time around nursing), so with my third I'm getting the whole book for reference. It was very helpful.

This has become my standard new-mommy gift of choice. It is absolutely the best resource for nursing mothers out there today. The author Kathleen Huggins gives good practical advice without being preachy, and offers tutorials and troubleshooting to help any new nursing mother along. I had just about every problem you can encounter nursing my first child, and this book never left the rocking chair I used to nurse him -- a day didn't go by for weeks that I wasn't using it to look something up. It's informative, educational and full of reassurance, which is something every new mother needs. [close]
