Bergin & Garvey, 1996 I wish this book were out of date and irrelevant! This definitive history of formula, pharmaceutical companies and infant death is highly readable, despite its depressing topic. While it would be comforting to think that formula fed babies only die at a higher rate than breastfed in places without access to clean water that just ain't so -- never has been, never will be, and the companies which make formula know that. Which is why the code of ...             Breastfeeding Made Simple: Seven Natural Laws for Nursing Mothers32 reviews Nancy Mohrbacher, Kathleen Kendall-tackett New Harbinger Publications, 2005 Very helpful for second BF try I was not successful breasfeeding my first child and was quite determined to make it work with my second.

Colleen ...             Baby Love17 reviews Maud Bryt Dell, 1998 Practical suggestions for simplfying the chaos Seeing the cover of this book I was apprehensive.

She slept with me for the first several years and then I was stumped. I had another baby, a husband, and 2 cats plus my toddler and myself fighting for space in our king-sized bed. Why was she so wound up at 9pm? AHA! She should have been getting ready for bed at the first signs of tired- at SIX THIRTY! ...             Having Faith20 reviews Sandra Steingraber Berkley Trade, 2003 An uncommon telling of a common story I loved this story, both as a scientific narrative and a touching personal story. I'm thinking about pregnancy, and this book awakened me to many of the dangers of toxins in the environment I hadn't even contemplated before. I'm so glad that Steingraber told the full story of fish in the diets of pregnant women, for example: that a food with such healthy fats and potential for fetal brain ...             Adventures in Tandem Nursing: Breastfeeding During Pregnancy and Beyond29 reviews Hilary Flower La Leche League International, 2003 Wonderfully helpful for mamas thinking about tandeming This book really helped me sort out what was best for our family when I was pregnant while nursing a 2-year-old. What I liked about the book is that it is, as much as possible, based on research rather than opinion. So many health care professionals advise their pregnant patients to wean their nurslings, regardless of age, when this advice is completely unsupported by evidence. I also was very ...             The Milk Memos: How Real Moms Learned to Mix Business with Babies-and How You Can, Too30 reviews Cate Colburn-Smith, Andrea Serrette Tarcher, 2007 Must read for working moms!

Besides being incredibly well-researched and thorough, it also presented an amazingly logical (yet somehow overlooked) idea: breastfeeding as an evolutionary adaptation. Breastfeeding benefits the survival of the baby and the human species - not only because of its ...             Nursing your baby15 reviews Karen Pryor The most useful breastfeeding book I found I had a copy of the womanly art of breastfeeding and found it to be long on preaching the joys of breastfeeding and short on addressing real concerns and problems! This is the book I dogeared and referred to again and again. It is practical, friendly, and full of useful information I didn't find anywhere else. There is a long bibliography of sources at the back, but you also get the sense that ...             Defining Your Own Success: Breastfeeding After Breast Reduction Surgery15 reviews Diana West La Leche League International, 2001 A must read for BFAR mothers This book was suggested by a doula friend and it was exactly what I needed to read.
