Breastfeeding may be natural but there are a lot of things that you still need to pay attention to and figure out like working and breastfeeding, how to choose the right breast pump and when and how to wean.
1. The Nursing Mother's Companion
I really, really like this book. The information is well organized and easy to find, even at 3 a.m. when you're alone and the baby is crying. It has great illustrations and practical information. Kathleen Huggins' style is friendly and simple, making it easy to follow and implement. There is also a section on what you need to know before the baby is born about breastfeeding as well as sections on returning to work and pumping.
2. The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers
Written by Dr. Jack Newman, pediatrician and breastfeeding expert, this book is a wealth of information. It's got a very conversational style and gives lots of practical advice with his professional experience and observations liberally spread throughout. It really can provide the reader with a sense that you are not alone.
4. The Breastfeeding Book
Martha Sears, mother, nurse and lactation counselor writes this book in the friendly prose of the typical Dr. Sears book. The illustrations are simple and the text matches nicely. The chapters are laid out well and it does include information on some common problems as well as information on returning to work and using a breast pump.
