Title: Some good advice, if you can ignore the militant tone
Product review: I was searching for a breastfeeding book that would offer lots of practical advice. Jackman's book does provide advice but its couched in plenty of ideology and a militant tone that isn't super helpful. He presents info in a way that is sure to make some mom's feel guilty if they supplement with formula, use a pacifier, or pump regularly. Because I intended to go to back to work 6 weeks post-partum and would very likely do one of the above, I was offended by his tone at times. The other thing I didn't like about this book is the author will frequently say things like "I think its better..." or "I don't think that's necessary..." I felt like - I don't give a crap what you think, I was to know what the evidence suggests. When I asked the lactation consultant about this book, she said Jackman is a "lactivist" who offered some good advice but not always in a way that's sensitive to the diverse situations mom's find themselves in.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
