The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding is a comprehensive resource guide providing everything you need to know about breastfeeding your baby. This book provides step-by-step guides to early months, common concerns, problems, and weaning. It includes information on general nutrition, sleep issues, going back to work, discipline, and fathering.
The La Leche League is widely recognized as the pro-active organization for breastfeeding, with its thousands of support groups worldwide. Their book is different from other books I've read on breastfeeding with its more personal approach and stronger pro-active position about breastfeeding. Throughout the book you'll find many personal stories that illustrate techniques or address problems and issues with breastfeeding. You'll also find sections on broader topics such as fathering (and breastfeeding), meeting family needs and on the dilemma of working outside of the home. While other books often focus more on the 'mechanics' of breastfeeding, this book looks at it from a larger, more family-centric perspective.
"As your Surgeon General, as a pediatrician, and as a woman, I wholeheartedly endorse breastfeeding .... La Leche League's history of support to mothers is commendable and most valuable. Congratulations on your accomplishments!' -Antonia C. Novello, M.D., M.P.H., Surgeon General of the United States
