Eat Well, Lose Weight, While Breastfeeding: The Complete Nutrition Book for Nursing Mothers 4 reviews
Eileen Behan
Ballantine Books, 2007
excellent book
This book has been very helpful for me to lose weight while breastfeeding. I had always been a petite 120 lb. woman until I got pregnant, and gained 43 lbs. I lost 17 lbs. the first month of breastfeeding after my son was born, but then I gained back 12 lbs. I was very frustrated because I have always been fit and healthy. I had been under the false pretense that I could now eat whatever I ...

Breastfeeding Made Simple: Seven Natural Laws for Nursing Mothers30 reviews
Nancy Mohrbacher, Kathleen Kendall-tackett
New Harbinger Publications, 2005
Breastfeeding Made Simple is the most important and helpful book I read prior to my daughter's birth
(Review by my wife): Despite taking a breastfeeding class, working with lactation consultants and doing quite a bit of reading on the subject, I never did get my son to latch on properly. As a result, he ended up being hospitalized for jaundice. Everything turned out fine, but the experience really scared me. I wasn't confident that I had the ability to nurture him on my own. Plus, with the ...

My Bible
This book taught me everything I needed to know! I was a young, first time mother with no family around who had breastfed. This book was given to me by a friend and really got me through the tought first weeks and encouraged me to stick with it. I read it while breastfeeding and the chapters were set up in a way that I could flip to the parts I needed in a hurry. I was constantlly concerned with ...

Eileen Behan
Villard, 1992
Well Written!
I really enjoyed this book. I found that it was really easy to read and it didn't take long to read the entire book. I really didn't want to "diet" while breastfeeding but was wanting information on how I should eat while breastfeeding. I found that when I started eating better by following the book's suggestions and began excercising regularly, I started losing half a pound a week. I am now ...

The Nursing Mother's Companion: Revised Edition77 reviews
Kathleen Huggins
Harvard Common Press, 2005
Read it BEFORE you go to the hospital
Lots of great info I could have used in the beginning. Still good to have now, I thought it was more a reference book when I bought it and didn't read it until later. I could have really used a lot of the information going in and in that first week. It's easy to read, and offers a lot of tips on childcare aside from just breastfeeding.

Nursing Mother, Working Mother, Revised Edition4 reviews

The Harvard Common Press, 2007
Great for Any Mother, Working or Not!
I bought this book while I was still pregnant, because I was planning on going back to college very soon after my daughter was born. Due to some complications, I didn't get to go back to school, so I've been a SAHM for nearly a year. Even without me working, this book has been by far the best book about breastfeeding that I have read. It has a whole chapter that gives you the knowledge and ...

Reeve Lindbergh
Simon & Schuster, 2002
Simply Lovely
This is a fast reading book concerning Mrs. Charles Lindbergh's last few years of life. Written by youngest Lindbergh sibling, Reeve, she tells of living on her own farm in Vermont, with a smaller house on the property her mother lived in during that time. Reeve Lindbergh is a wonderful writer - she doesn't need the famous last name to prove that. When she isn't writing about her mother, which ...

Finally!-- a nursing guide with one foot in the real world
With an adopted 10-month old at home, my first pregnancy turned out to be twins. I loved my 40+ hour management level job and did not want to leave. I did not think nursing was an option, and quite frankly wasn't that interested in it anyway. This book changed my mind. It is down-to-earth and gave me the grounding I needed to think creatively and yet realistically about what I needed and what my ...

Indispensable - Absolutely Fantastic!
This is a *wonderful* book for any pregnant mother who is dealing with bed rest! The author is a veteran of two complicated pregnancies involving extended bed rest and she has put together an amazing amount of information and resources in this book. I wish I'd had this book for my first two pregnancies and am SO GLAD to have it for my third! The author includes a huge amount of information and ...

Best Breastfeeding reference out there
I totally disagree with the person that put this book down and touted the Dr. Sears book. I too have both books....in the early stages of breastfeeding when you and your little one are still trying to figure out everything....the Sears book is useless. It doesn't help you trouble shoot any problems you might be having...nor does it tell you things you might run into or pitfalls you might expect. ...

The Nursing Mother's Guide to Weaning, Revised Edition 5 reviews
Kathleen Huggins, Linda Ziedrich
The Harvard Common Press, 2007
Only the Title Needs Changing
While I really enjoyed this book, I will concede that the previous reviewers have a point: calling this book "The Nursing Mother's Guide to Weaning" makes it sound like it's just, and only, a how-to manual on weaning your baby. In fact, it is a somewhat condensed primer on weaning patterns throughout history that transitions into a breakdown of the nursing relationship by age group (under 3 ...

Useful and practical
You may see a few discussions amongst these reviews about certain techniques suggested by this book. Some people take offence that certain techniques are suggested at all. But the most valuable thing I found about this book is the fact that it presents *all* possible options/methods available for weaning of various agegroups, in a very comprehensive and objective manner - and leaves the ...
