Title: Very technical, lacks the feeling of breastfeeding
Review: I read this prior to giving birth to my first daughter. I thought I was well prepared for the task of breastfeeding. Boy was I wrong. I knew the technical aspects of how to breastfeed but was completely lost on how to actually do it. Breastfeeding is such a touch sensitive thing that if you don't understand how something feels, you could get the latch wrong.The book does describe potential problems, such as mastitis. However, the descriptions are also very technical and left me without knowing whether or not I had mastitis.I wish I skipped this book and went right to Nursing Mother's Companion. I have breastfed my daughters for a total of 2.5 years and have never referenced this book beyond the initial reading.
Is the review positive or negative?
