This book is way biased toward exclusive breastfeeding for as long as possible and unmedicated childbirth. If you going into it knowing that much and are prepared to take from it what works for you and leave the rest behind, I highly recommend it! A lot of good advice and information. ( )

This is a hugely valuable book if you go into it with the right expectations.

What are the right expectations? (1) La Leche League's purpose is to encourage breastfeeding for as long as baby and mom can and want to. (2) They believe the breastfeeding relationship is more important than the milk on its own, and so encourages moms to do whatever they can to keep that up during the duration of breastfeeding, including encouraging moms to not go back to work during that period. So this isn't a book to read if you're upset by either of those premises. You'll focus on those premises and the reasoning that follows and miss all the valuable content.

If you agree with those premises or if, like me, you agree with most of the underlying essence and are willing to overlook some of leaps to conclusions, then this book is jam packed with practical, detailed information.

Part one is the preliminary section. It discusses why moms should breastfeed, the importance of building a support community, birth and breastfeeding, and latching.

Part two describes how breastfeeding and the breastfeeding relationship changes as the baby grows. These sections can be a little bit repetitive on a straight read through, but the self-contained nature is valuable in a reference material.

Part three talks about specific issues: sleep, introducing solids, returning to work (a somewhat frustrating chapter, but not as much as it seems it might be because the authors recognize that for many women, it's not a choice), pumping, weaning, difficult breastfeeding situations, and a long chapter on "tech support" for specific breastfeeding issues.

Part four gives some history of La Leche League and provides a number of useful one page summaries of key points and various recording tools (e.g., a diaper log).

Overall, while this book was definitely not a neutral presentation of breastfeeding, it is still a primarily practically oriented, fact based resource -- one that is much more detailed than most other resources I have seen on breastfeeding. ( )

I read this after having nursed three children for a little less than two years each (probably a total of five years spent nursing) because I was curious if there was anything I didn't already know. I skimmed a lot but there were helpful things I learned. I didn't agree with everything- after reading I felt guilty for weaning my children from nursing at night (all over a year old) because of back pain I suffer from. But I believe there needs to be a strong voice for women nursing as long as they are able and this book provides that. It reminds me of my first labor experience- I had a midwife who kept telling me that it was ok to take pain medication if I needed to, which to my mind felt like she was telling me I couldn't be successful at labor. But it was my mom telling me, "You can do it, you don't want to give up, an unmediated birth is what you wanted, it's important to you," gave me confidence and comfort in spite of the pain. Women need cheerleaders like that in breast feeding. ( )

The most destructive and manipulative book I was given while pregnant. By far.

I planned to fully breastfeed, and read the book with that goal in mind. I couldn't believe how unpleasant and judgemental the tone could get in this book. And I was appalled at how many false and thoroughly disproved statements were made about formula. I came away completely disgusted with how the book's authors regard women who formula-feed.

I read this book before I had my child, specifically to prepare for my plan of exclusive breastfeeding. I came away nauseated at how cruel and dismissive the book was, toward anyone who didn't toe the EBF line. Under a veneer of pseudo-soothing language, the implications were clear.

As someone who was already planning to breastfeed, the book should have been preaching to the choir. But it just made me angry with its nonstop smugness.

It made me wonder, why did the author write this book? To explain and promote breastfeeding, or to be covertly hateful toward people who don't? Because the book would have been much better without that second part.

In the end, this not a book for people who want rational breastfeeding/infant feeding advice. It's a support guide for people who have a great deal of identity invested in breastfeeding. I should have been clued in by the title referring to breastfeeding as an "art". ( )

We dedicate this book with much love to the many caring parents who have helped make La Leche League what it is today, and to our patient, loving husbands and children, all of whom helped the seven of us learn the womanly art of breastfeeding.

This book could not have been written and the basic principles underlying the work of La Leche League would not have withstood the test of time, had it not been for the unfailing counsel of Doctors Herbert Ratner and Gregory White, who have wholeheartedly supported us from the earliest days of La Leche League. For this, we are most grateful.
