Product Description
“How would you like to give your baby a gift that may possibly raise his IQ by 10 points; cut medical bills; make your baby’s eyes, heart, intestines, and near every other organ work better; reduce the risk of life-shortening, debilitating diseases, such as diabetes; and help your baby avoid many of the common complaints of infancy, such as ear infections, tummy upsets, even diaper rash? Whats the key gift that can do all these things? Your milk!…. Breastfeeding will make it simpler to care for your baby, and it will make it simpler for you to know and know your baby. It will affect the way you listen to your child, the way you communicate, the way you answer for many years to come….In the early days of learning to breastfeed, there may be times when you feel like tossing in the nursing bra and reaching for a bottle. You may be tempted to judge those advisers who suggest that formula feeding is simpler, or just as excellent. Or, you may worry that you’re “not the type” of mother who succeeds at breastfeeding. Yet, when you remember how breastfeeding benefits your baby, your family, and yourself, you will find the determination you need to overcome any obstacles and master the womanly art of breastfeeding.

This book is so unrealistic. When weaning is mentioned, they suggest you are weaning a toddler or preschooler. Cloth diapers seem to be the norm as is NOT working. This book is not for someone who wants to place the house in the first year or go back to work. I wish I had never bought this book and I plot to throw it out!!!

I was not that impressed with this book or any of the Sears’ books. When we found out I was having twins we quickly bought all the books that we plotting would help. Thier books are wordy and not to the top. They also make you feel like a child abuser if you occasionally give your baby, or babies, a bottle or binkie. This book did have a few excellent suggestions but not enough that I would urge it…..especially for mothers of twins or anyone with unusual circumstances. just so you know, my twins are four months and I am still breastfeeding. Excellent luck to you.

I despised this book. I didn’t even read the whole thing because it was dull and I did not like the Sears views on mothers who give their babies formula. I read The Everything Breastfeeding Book and I loved it. I was never bored. My baby was in the NICU and her first night she was given bottles. The second day she was given my pumped milk in bottles and formula because my milk was not all the way in yet. My baby would not latch on when we got home so my mom bought me the Medela nipple shields to use and that is how I breast feed my baby. The Sears would call me a horrible mother because I “didn’t try hard enough” but I really did all I may possibly it just didn’t work so I made it work with soem help from a nipple shield.
