Fun Breastfeeding "Manual" for Moms

Andi Silverman has written a really down to earth breastfeeding book. The text is filled with truthful and humorous quotes from moms and interesting data points, enough to make you laugh at 3 a.m. while you're feeding. The illustrations are also very sleek, educational and entertaining. I counsel new mothers all the time and this is the positive, easy-to-read text to help get them through some of the more practical issues that they deal with on a day-to-day basis with their babes, from figuring out how to breastfeed in public, to answering the inevitable questions about breastfeeding, to keeping connected to their partners...and Silverman does it all with flare and style.

Ever new mother should know

Witty, but chock full of useful advice . Deals with everyday circumstances facing mothers.

A must-have for nursing mothers!

Andi Silverman's new book, "Mama Knows Breast: A Beginner's Guide to Breastfeeding" mamaknowsbreast.com) is fun to read, easy to digest, attractive to look at and packed with "real life" tips, resources and "how to" information on nursing that acknowledges breastfeeding isn't always as easy as it looks. Kudos to Andi for birthing a great resource for moms! For so many mothers, myself included, nursing was not as simple as sticking our child on the breast--this wonderful resource acknowledges the realities of nursing and supports mothers emotionally and physically during this important time. I look forward to recommending it to all my Personal Renewal Group Facilitators! ReneeTrudeau.com, life balance coach and author of "The Mother's Guide to Self-Renewal."
