It came free from the hospital and was really helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-399985 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 15:29:14 +0000 BeachMama 399985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123 - I have a copy of the Nursing Mothers Companion I can send you if you want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-395052 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 12:49:27 +0000 Chastenet 395052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the recommendations for Ina mae's guide. It has tons of good info </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-395008 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 12:28:53 +0000 prettylizy 395008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dr Jack Newman's guide to breastfeeding. I also recommend his video. It's a little old, but IMO seeing him latch new mothers and watching a baby breastfeed gave me a better idea of what to expect. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-394994 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 12:27:00 +0000 mamabolt 394994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved Nursing Mother's Companion and kellymom.com </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-391797 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:28:58 +0000 Silva 391797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm reading the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. I think its pretty informative, and I'm learning a lot. I do find it to be a judgmental / preachy book, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-391785 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:23:45 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 391785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursing Mother's Companion was very thorough without being too preachy. I also second/third/whatever the suggestion to read up at kellymom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-391738 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:04:11 +0000 mrsjazz 391738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say scratch the book and stick with Kelly Mom, the site was my go to during the first 6 weeks of breastfeeding...and even now that LO has teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-391671 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 13:24:26 +0000 Weagle 391671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few books, but never opened them. I did visit <a href="http://kellymom.com/" rel="nofollow">http://kellymom.com/</a> multiple times a day in the first several weeks. So much information (that you would find in any book), and it was so easy to look stuff up on my phone while nursing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-391426 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 11:34:46 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 391426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked Breast Feeding Made Simple, too. I haven't actually done any breastfeeding yet to put it into practice, but it did seem to simplify things and make the process low stress (though not necessarily low effort) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-391418 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 11:31:23 +0000 SleepyMonkey 391418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked Breastfeeding Made Simple. Easy to read and lots of in depth step by step instructions and pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-391412 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 11:28:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 391412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding was my go-to! I also read the Dr. Sears book. I got them both from the library and kept them on hand for the first month that DS was here, it was useful as a reference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-391411 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 11:28:02 +0000 autumnlove 391411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never read a book but got a lot of tips from the Kelly mom and Ameda websites. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-391409 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 11:27:50 +0000 boiledpnut 391409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked Ida May's Guide to Breastfeeding. She's very granola, but her book had a lot of good information in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recs-for-breastfeeding#post-391405 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 11:26:20 +0000 pl0508 391405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have some books they would recommend for breastfeeding info? We took a class but I think I'd like to read a book too! Give me your reviews! </p>
