Narrated by: Kathleen Godwin

The definitive guide to breastfeeding your baby

Breastfeeding may be natural, but it may also be more challenging than you expect. Some mothers encounter doubts and difficulties, from struggling with the first few feedings to finding a gentle and loving way to comfortably wean from the breast.

This second edition of Breastfeeding Made Simple is an essential guide to breastfeeding that every new and expectant mom should own - a comprehensive resource that takes the mystery out of basic breastfeeding dynamics. Understanding the seven natural laws of breastfeeding will help you avoid and overcome challenges such as low milk production, breast refusal, weaning difficulties, and every other obstacle that can keep you from enjoying breastfeeding your baby.

Breastfeeding Made Simple will help you to:

• Find comfortable, relaxing breastfeeding positions
• Establish ample milk production and a satisfying breastfeeding rhythm with your baby
• Overcome discomfort and mastitis
• Use a breast pump to express and store milk
• Easily transition to solid foods

Critic reviews

"I recommend this groundbreaking book to all my clients." (Diane Wiessinger, MS, IBCLC)

"I fell in love with this book; every page is a jewel. It simply ‘delivers’ what every mother needs - the natural laws to build a breastfeeding relationship. Understanding the first 40 days has changed the way I talk to new parents and teach breastfeeding supporters. Finally, here is a book that talks about breastfeeding without all the rules. This book lives in my bag to share with everyone!" (Carrie Finger, BFA, IBCLC, LCCE, Lactation Program Director at Aviva Institute)

Helpful

This manual is so good, makes me realize I should have tried more medications prior to weaning and ones that didn’t cross into the milk.

This can change yours and your babies Life!

You may think I am exaggerating but I assure I am not, this book will open your eyes to the few evidence based advice on breastfeeding there is out there. Most advice on breastfeeding feeding is very outdated and based on the culture we have built. Take time to listen, you have enough discernment to detect a bad apple and this book is filled with good ones. Your health and your baby will thank you. Be curious and search things out ;)

A lot of information

I had hard time getting into and finishing this book. As an experienced breastfeeding mother and a Lactation educator this seems like a lot of information to be given to a new mom. It would seem overwhelming to try to comprehend and understand all the breastfeeding information given.

Fantastic resource!

Information was presented in a easy to follow format and manner. Covered majority of information needed to establish and continue breastfeeding successfully.

Excellent resource for all breastfeeding situations

I highly recommend this book for anyone wishing to breastfeed, or anyone supporting a breastfeeding mother. All aspects are covered, including the optimal experience, and including many, many complications and exceptions. Well laid out and meticulously annotated.
