From Library Journal
Martin, an award-winning journalist (and a mother), and Krebs, a pediatrician who specializes in nutrition (and a mother), have come together to create a pragmatic breastfeeding guide. Its format is question-and-answer, and its organization is alphabetic. Thus, if you wonder whether it is advisable to nurse when you have the flu, you!ll find the answer under Flu, Breastfeeding When You Have. Based on questions that were asked on the lactation consultant hotline at the Children!s Hospital of Denver, this book addresses common issues of new mothers (e.g., latching on, sore nipples, night feedings) as well as less common situations, such as breastfeeding babies with special needs. The scope of the Q&A is wide, providing a wealth of detailed information from a modern-day perspective (e.g., see the section on Pierced Nipple ). Highly recommended for consumer health collections and for nursing mothers as a ready-reference tool."Linda M.G. Katz, Florence A. Moore Lib. of Medicine, MCP Hahnemann Univ., Philadelphia

Book Description
Finally! Answers to your most urgent questions in an easy-to-use format!
Based on questions posed by thousands of real mothers, this A-to-Z guide has a practical, realistic view of how nursing fits into a modern woman's life.
First-time mothers and breastfeeding veterans will find answers to more than 300 questions -- from the most common to the most particular.
- How to know the effect of what you eat and drink on your breastmilk -- from antihistamines and antidepressants to spicy food, wine, or caffeine
- How to use natural remedies like fennel tea, cabbage leaves, and brewer's yeast to combat your own and your baby's discomforts
- How to accommodate your child's particular nursing style, be she fussy, sleepy, overeager, or uninterested
- How to breastfeed children with special needs -- like a cleft palate and Down's syndrome -- as well as adopted babies and twins
Cross-referenced for easy, immediate access to information, supplemented with listings of resources such as videos, Web sites, and support groups, this volume is the most comprehensive collection of nursing advice available.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This is not quite what I expected, but it is a good reference book to have. If you need basic information about breastfeeding, this is probably not the book for you because it is set up more like a dictionary - in alphabetical order by whatever problem you have (such as soreness, biting, etc). It is more like a book to have around when you need to look up something quickly. If you are a new mom needing basic information on how to start breastfeeding, get Dr. Jack Newman's book "The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers." It is very comprehensive and tells you everything you need to know from starting out with your newborn to nursing into the toddler years.
