Guide Review - The Complete Book of Breastfeeding - Review

The Complete Book of Breastfeeding (4th Ed.) gives information about breastfeeding from pregnancy through weaning. It covers many topics that moms have questions about and also covers topics that you might not think to ask. The information in the book correlates to the information provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the most recent research. The book discusses anatomy and physiology of breastfeeding, lifestyles of a breastfeeding mother and more. One thing that is helpful to is the complete index, so that a mother with a late night question can immediately turn to that section in the book. Some moms may find this book too complete and/or overwhelming for their needs. For the mom who likes to be prepared and wants to know all about breastfeeding, this book is a great resource.
