Book Description
Breastfeeding is natural, but it’s not always easy. It is the biological norm, but it is not the cultural norm. By learning the seven basic principles in this book, mothers can dramatically increase their likelihood of success and make breastfeeding the enjoyable experience it should be. The seven laws taught in this book are easy for mothers to understand and are sure to help them avoid some of the pitfalls that they might otherwise face. The seven principles include: 1. Babies Have the Urge to Self-Attach 2. Use the Power of Skin-to-Skin: A Baby’s Natural Habitat 3. Breastfeed Ad Lib 4. Reach for the Comfort Zone 5. Expect Cluster Nursing 6. More Milk Out = More Milk Made 7. Babies Outgrow Breastfeeding The book also addresses how to solve common problems and deal with special situations such as breast reductions and babies with special needs. The authors describe some of the social, psychological, and cultural reasons why breastfeeding is not currently the norm, and what this implies for mothers. In all, this is an easy-to-use breastfeeding resource for new mothers, which includes all the latest research and techniques used by those in the lactation field. |

Easy read, good stats
This book was helpful for a first time Mom. I liked that they had scientific studies to back up what they were saying. Practical advice.

The best book ever!!
This is by far the best breastfeeding book I've ever read. Very clear and simple, I would buy it for every expecting mom I know!

ok, but read w/ caution 
It is a good recourse to have, but don't use it as a "nursing bible" or you will think you are doing EVERYTHING wrong.
I found "What to Expect the 1st Year" had a MUCH better section on breastfeeding that was user friendly and not mean to those that struggle.

Breastfeeding Made Simple is the most important and helpful book I read prior to my daughter's birth
(Review by my wife): Despite taking a breastfeeding class, working with lactation consultants and doing quite a bit of reading on the subject, I never did get my son to latch on properly. As a result, he ended up being hospitalized for jaundice. Everything turned out fine, but the experience really scared me. I wasn't confident that I had the ability to nurture him on my own. Plus, with the exception of my husband, I had little encouragement from others to keep going. As a result, I gave up on breastfeeding the natural way. Instead, I pumped breast milk for him until he was twelve months old. I just felt like I had to see how much milk he was getting. Once I got pregnant with my daughter, I was determined to succeed the next time around. I believe that I am still exclusively breastfeeding her at six months because of Mohrbacher's and Kendall-Tackett's book. The Seven Laws gave me so much insight as to what went wrong with my son Not only did they educate me on how to fix problems that might come up, but more importantly how to prevent many of them. Everything is laid out so logically that you truly walk away with all you need to know about breastfeeding. And sadly, the reality is that you cannot assume that you're going to be taught how to breastfeed during your short postpartum hospital stay. So you really do have to educate yourself. Along with the invaluable hands-on help of lactation consultants, this book is the only one you'll need. In addition to its wisdom, the other great gift of this book is how it empowers you to try and stick with breastfeeding.
