EDITORIAL REVIEWS Product Description An Amazing Resource for Nursing Moms Although breastfeeding is the natural and healthy way to nourish your baby, it’s not always easy. Many new mothers are scared away from nursing because of difficulty getting started and lack of information about what to do when things don’t go as planned. In this fully revised and updated edition of The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers, two of today’s foremost lactation experts help new mothers overcome their fears, doubts, and practical concerns about one of the most special ways a mother can bond with her baby. In this comprehensive guide, Dr. Jack Newman, a leading authority on infant care, and Teresa Pitman, a La Leche League leader for more than twenty years, give you the facts about breastfeeding and provide solutions for the common problems that arise. Filled with the same practical advice that made the first edition a must-have for nursing moms, the new edition features updates on: • Achieving a good latch • What to do if your baby refuses the breast • Avoiding sore nipples • Ensuring your baby gets enough milk • Feeding a colicky baby • Breastfeeding premature and special-needs babies CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 16 reviews) If you are a working mother, don't even consider this book   The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers: The Most Comprehensive Problem-Solving Guide to Breastfeeding from the Foremost Expert in North America, Revised & Updated Edition I would not recommend this book to anyone who plans to return to work while breastfeeding as it condems almost all uses of a bottle or pumping and so provides little to no information about these topics. The tone of the book is very sanctimonious, especially with respect to the use of any medications during labor and any use of a bottle. There are much more helpful and balanced books available. July 06, 2008 This book covered the basics but didn't address problems I had with my baby   I own the previous version of this book and I found that it covered the basics of breastfeeding pretty well. However, I took a 2-hour breastfeeding class at my hospital that covered most of the same information. I was well-educated on breastfeeding when my son was born and I knew what to do, but he didn't. At first I interpreted his crying and head wagging as him not wanting to eat but weeks later I figured out that he was just so excited about eating that he couldn't calm himself down enough to do it. Anyway, he did not breastfeed for the first 10 days (I pumped and we used bottles) and then I was finally able to get him to latch on with a nipple shield. When he was 2 1/2 months old he started nursing without the nipple shield. Getting him to breasfeed "normally" was a long and difficult process and not something that was addressed in this book. Nor was it addressed in a Jack Newman DVD that my doula loaned to me. This book is probably a decent resource for moms who aren't quite sure what to do but who have babies that will latch on. However, for moms who know what to do but who have babies that won't latch on, this book won't help. May 27, 2008 WOnderful Resource   Dr. Jack Newman is THE premier expert on breast feeding - and breastfeeding problems - in the world today. I work in a compounding pharmacy and am often asked for suggestions to help mother who may be having difficulties. I first turn to Dr. Newman. We make his prescription nipple ointments and they work. How do I know they work? Because the new mother gets relief, and experiences a cure because she doesn't have to come back for a refill. The fdirst tiny jar of ointment clears the problems and they don't return. ANy woman even contemplating breastfeeding - a great idea - really shopuld read this book. Also, make sure you know the pharmaciusts oin your area who do compounding. The nipple ointment must be made fresh by an experienced compounder. Larry J.

Best money I have EVER spent!!!!! February 29, 2008 The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers   Breast feeding in not always an easy endeavor, and it's not always a matter of willingness. As a Women's Health Care Nurse Practitioner, and a mom who had a lot of difficulty breastfeeding, I have found this book to be invaluable. At times, preachy, but ultimately reassuring. It's sometimes really difficult to find sound, encouraging advice when you are having problems nursing. Women who's babies took to nursing with little problem (in my experience, many La Leche members), often don't understand the anxiety and frustration that a mom can feel when she and her baby are just not getting it. In many cases there's more to it then free access to the breast, nursing on demand, etc. It's also hard to find a Lactation Consultant in many communities, which leaves many women hung out to dry, quite literally. This book doesn't replace a good lactation consultant or knowledgeable breastfeeding advocate, but it is a good resource for moms. I use it almost daily as a patient resource. Often xeroxing sections to hand out. My patients usually find the information helpful and accessible.
