books by Harvard Common Press     books:       The Nursing Mother's Companion: Revised Edition79 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.
