I give this to my childbirth classes, 2009-01-06
Breastfeeding Made Simple is my favorite basic breastfeeding book for new moms. As a Childbirth Educator and Doula I work with new parents all the time. Nancy has laid out excellent information in a clear and readable style. The information is based in current research and years of experience. The format is chronological so a new mom can read about the first few days, then the first weeks, then the first months, etc. Changes that occur over time are explained. I give this book to my students to help their knowledge, skills and courage.

Excellent....living abroad, this saved me, 2008-12-10
I am currently living abroad and had my first child. There are no english-speaking lactation consultants in the area, so I wanted to make sure I was prepared as possible to breastfeed. This book was amazing at clearly explaining a good latch, and gave me the confidence to breastfeed exclusively...and pain free! Thank you for writing this book. If you are considering breastfeeding, this book is a blessing.

The Best Breastfeeding book EVER!, 2008-11-29
This book has all of the information needed for succesful breastfeeding. I read this after my third child and learned so much. An absolute MUST read for every expecting or seasoned mom. Explanations are so easy to understand. Photos and drawings to show techniques. Gives you all of the who, what, when, and how. Great support and encouragement offered by author. I will be giving this to every new mother I know. I'm a pediatric nurse and teach mothers how to nurse but I learned so much from reading this. Mothers, trust your instincts! You can breastfeed!

Breastfeeding Made Simple, 2008-10-03
This book has made my life so much easier. I have read lots of books out there and I would have saved a lot of time and money if I had only gotten this book first! It gives simple solutions to problems that most women have after having a baby and trying to breastfeed. This is definately a book worth buying!

Must read, 2008-09-30
I had a lot of difficulty breastfeeding my first child. I wish I had this book seven years ago, it would of eliminated a lot of problems. It is an easy read, with very helpful info not only on technique but avoiding the pitfalls that can sabotage breastfeeding.
