I bought this book over a year ago when I was pregnant with my first child who is now a year old. I was formula fed and so was everyone else close to me so I had very little support from family and friends when it came to breastfeeding. I got a lot of help from lactation nurses at the hospital and at my pediatrician's office but I do not think I would have been successful without the help of this book. It was a great read while getting ready to breastfeed for the first time and it was a great reference during the first few months when I would have moments of panic about latching issues, supply issues, and other concerns.

I read other books about breastfeeding but they made it seem so complicated that I was often left more confused than before. This book really does simplify things and it helped ease my mind rather than stress me out. I gave this book to my little sister who recently had a baby and I recommend it to all my friends and family who are interested in breastfeeding. It was a life saver!

(Review by my wife): Despite taking a breastfeeding class, working with lactation consultants and doing quite a bit of reading on the subject, I never did get my son to latch on properly. As a result, he ended up being hospitalized for jaundice. Everything turned out fine, but the experience really scared me. I wasn't confident that I had the ability to nurture him on my own. Plus, with the exception of my husband, I had little encouragement from others to keep going. As a result, I gave up on breastfeeding the natural way. Instead, I pumped breast milk for him until he was twelve months old. I just felt like I had to see how much milk he was getting. Once I got pregnant with my daughter, I was determined to succeed the next time around. I believe that I am still exclusively breastfeeding her at six months because of Mohrbacher's and Kendall-Tackett's book. The Seven Laws gave me so much insight as to what went wrong with my son Not only did they educate me on how to fix problems that might come up, but more importantly how to prevent many of them. Everything is laid out so logically that you truly walk away with all you need to know about breastfeeding. And sadly, the reality is that you cannot assume that you're going to be taught how to breastfeed during your short postpartum hospital stay. So you really do have to educate yourself. Along with the invaluable hands-on help of lactation consultants, this book is the only one you'll need. In addition to its wisdom, the other great gift of this book is how it empowers you to try and stick with breastfeeding.

When I was pregnant with my 2nd baby I purchased this book. I wish I had bought this book with my 1st baby. Even though I nursed my 1st baby for 6 months, this book taught me so much! What was most useful was information on how to make sure your milk supply is adequate in the first 2 weeks after the baby is born. Basically you have to nurse/pump 8-12 times a day. This is what I did and it worked. It was hard work but you just have to keep at it for 2 weeks. Also it has a useful discussion of how breastfeeding becomes less work than bottle feeding at the 5 week mark which was more incentive for me to stick with it. Note that the book only focuses on the first 6 weeks, but basically you have the knack of it after that. This is a must read for any mother who breastfeeds, whether you're new at it or have breastfed before. The only area where I was disappointed was the discussion on engorgement. It seems that most breastfeeding books gloss over this, unfortunately for moms like me who have severe engorgement with both babies. The book advises you to nurse a lot which I did, but my engorgement was still really bad. My advice for moms with bad engorgement is to pump right away when it starts and use lots of ice and self massage. Don't wait till it gets out of control. Be extremely proactive!

This is a great book for first time moms (or even "been there done that" moms). It is very inspirational..I know the hormones were soaring already from my pregnancy...but this book made me more excited about the prospect of breastfeeding and being able to supply all the nutrients my baby needed. This book gives background info and hints, tips, and tricks on the art of breastfeeding. I didn't attend any classes nor did I need a lactation consultant. This book and a few resources they recommended (free online sites with video) help me to successfully nurse my daughter. Although I had a C-section, the first moment they brought her in the room with me...she latched on perfectly. I already knew the "right" and "wrong" so knowing what to watch for made me very confident that I could provide for daughter. This book prepares you for pumping...if you have to go back to work like I did...it even has a chapter on weaning. It is a great book and I would recommend it to any mom.

Before I gave birth to my daughter, I thoroughly read two breastfeeding books: this one, and The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding by La Leche League. This book was amazing and made me excited to breastfeed, and actually made me feel like I could do it. The LLL one constantly made me worry and made me feel guilty. They almost made it seem like if you got an epidural, you would never be able to breastfeed! But anyway, back to this book...

It gives you practical tips for every eventuality. It also tells you what to expect at different ages. I remember those first few weeks of breastfeeding, checking it many, many times for help AND encouragement. It said that around 5-6 weeks, breastfeeding becomes significantly easier, and I could not wait for that, and sure enough, they were right!

In terms of a book, it was the most helpful one I had read (I had browsed through many), but in the end, I still have to say that nothing can replace meeting with a professional lactation consultant. So definitely read the book, use it for help and encouragement like I did, but if you are having significant problems, meet with an LC (and a good one, one that you click with. I met with 3 before I found one I loved!). The book would say the same thing!
