I'm 12 weeks pregnant and would like to start reading up on breastfeeding. Does anyone have recommendations on books that they found helpful, especially for first time moms? Any input is greatly appreciated!!!
-
I really liked "The Nursing Mother's Companion."
-
This one was highly recommended to my by someone who initially struggled with breastfeeding, but is now almost at one year: Breastfeeding made simple: seven natural laws for nursing mothers. It's by K. A. Kendall-Tackett.

Right now I'm reading "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding" -
http://www.amazon.com/Womanly-Art-Breastfeeding-Seventh-International/dp/0452285801
It's by the La Leche League people...so far it's been really informative and I think will be a good reference guide to have on hand after Baby H arrives!

Thanks all!!!
I've read a lot of reviews that the LaLeche League book spends a lot of time convincing you to breast feed, but doesn't spend as much time on the how-to. Since I already know I want to breastfeed I wasn't sure if that would be a good fit.
What did you think @Mrs. Hopscotch? -
@CarrieLouWho: what @anbanan15: said. I absolutely love that book, it is a bit one sided but it helped me so much. LO is 11 months old & still nursing. I think it is SO smart to read it while pregnant, I wish I would have.

@sulli301: I hope I got the info right
