Fantastic!

I read Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth during my pregnancy, and just finished listening to this book at 30 days postpartum. With my first child breastfeeding was simple, but with this one it’s been very challenging. This book gave me the confidence & knowledge to continue to dedicate what my baby & I need to be successful. Thank you Ina May!

extremely comprehensive, but one thing wrong. ..

the bad:
there was one thing I didn't enjoy, the chapters are not labeled with titles so you're really left in the dark regarding which chapters discuss what topics, which makes it hard to reference back to specific information.


the good:
loved this book from beginning to end. the content was fantastic, and informative. This book serves a springboard from which to build a foundation when you're first starting out learning about breastfeeding. she touches on a lot of resources so you can further build and even offers very detailed guidance about latching and any arising concerns. i definitely recommend it to both new mom's & experienced moms.I would venture to even say dads should listen because there's a lot of useful information for them too. I just finished it but will need to go through it a few more times because it's just that jam packed with information.

Lots of touching stories and valuable info

I think it would be useful to reference back every few months after baby is born. enjoyable.

Very informative!!!

I was very happy with this book and learned a lot more than I even thought I already knew. Highly recommend this book!!

Incredibly educational, fundamental!

One of the best books ever. Every single person should read this book, specially if you are pregnant, will have a baby, have a baby, or as the father of a baby.
I wish more people knew about this book!
