This is one of the best books on breastfeeding out there. Every mom should read this book, preferably during pregnancy. The information is invaluable and can help prevent problems with breastfeeding. It covers everything from preparing to breastfeed during pregnancy to why breastmilk is best to dealing with special situations (i.e. breastfeeding after a C-section, premature baby). It also gives advice on how to avoid sore nipples and how to deal with problems like plugged ducts or breast infections. It is written by a group of mothers so the information is applicable and time-tested..
