Product Description
Breastfeeding is natural, but it’s not always easy. It is the biological norm, but it is not the cultural norm. By learning the seven basic principles in this book, mothers can dramatically increase their likelihood of success and make breastfeeding the enjoyable experience it should be. The seven laws taught in this book are easy for mothers to understand and are sure to help them avoid some of the pitfalls that they might otherwise face.The seven principles include: 1. Babies Have the Urge to Self-Attach 2. Use the Power of Skin-to-Skin: A Baby’s Natural Habitat 3. Breastfeed Ad Lib 4. Reach for the Comfort Zone 5. Expect Cluster Nursing 6. More Milk Out = More Milk Made 7. Babies Outgrow Breastfeeding
The book also addresses how to solve common problems and deal with special situations such as breast reductions and babies with special needs. The authors describe some of the social, psychological, and cultural reasons why breastfeeding is not currently the norm, and what this implies for mothers. In all, this is an easy-to-use breastfeeding resource for new mothers, which includes all the latest research and techniques used by those in the lactation field.

A truly outstanding breastfeeding guide by .. Ann Douglas (Peterborough, Ontario Canada)
I purchased this book while researching the breastfeeding chapter in one of my forthcoming books. I immediately fell in love with this book -- specifically, with its innovative approach to the material (the seven natural laws) and its warm, supportive, and mother-friendly tone. The authors do a terrific job of explaining the root causes of many common breastfeeding problems in ways that make so much sense. Their section on how taking a "left-brained" approach to the very "right-brained" act of breastfeeding is totally brilliant. I can't praise this book highly enough.
Best Breastfeeding Book I've Read by .. C. Honea (charlotte, NC USA)
I have done a lot of reading on the topic of breastfeeding, and this book tops my favorites list! The information and research provided in this book are far more up-to-date than what you'll find in most breastfeeding books. This book helps moms understand how breastfeeding works so that they can adapt their breastfeeding relationship to their specific needs and desires. It also does an amazing job helping moms understand the "bottle-feeding culture" and how that can impact breastfeeding. I didn't find the book to be pushy at all - in fact, I thought it was very releasing and gentle. I am going to give this book as a gift to all my pregnant friends!
My favorite breastfeeding book! by .. Julia (Salt Lake City)
I have a little stack of breastfeeding books that I started accumulating when I was pregnant with my now-4-month-old, and this book is by far the most helpful one among them. It has different information than a lot of the other books out there and is very encouraging and empowering.
The best breastfeeding book for new mothers! by .. A reader (New York)
I have read probably 90% of the breastfeeding books out there, and I still learned so much from this book! I wish it had been around when I had my first baby. I have already given two copies to friends who just had babies, and I plan to give it to other friends as well, preferably when they are still pregnant. The information is detailed and scientifically accurate; the tone is reassuring and supportive. I loved that when the authors described various choices or actions, they explained not only what would happen as a result, but also *why* that result would occur, in a logical, factual way. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Wonderful, supportive, and informative by .. Andrea (Minnesota)
This book is a great resource for nursing mothers. I am still nursing my 18 month old daughter and I wish I had read this before I started nursing. It has information that I have not seen in Dr. Sears' books or in the book by the Pediatric Society. The tips for latch on are especially helpful. I think this is a very straightforward book that makes the reader feel comfortable about the breastfeeding relationship they have with their child. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to learn more about breastfeeding.
