Reviews:

(reviewed 1990) “Finally – a book that will equally serve the breastfeeding mother and the lactation consultant! Bestfeeding addresses the practical aspects with a common sense approach that could only come from such a diverse and experiences trio of authors…Bestfeeding deserves to be at the top of the list of books recommend to both mothers and their helpers.”
Linda Demarais, RPT IBCLC

(reviewed 2001) “The 10th anniversary edition has been long awaited…One of the original highlights, women’s breastfeeding stories, has increased from seven to eleven informative and sensitive case studies. The updated list of resources for finding lactation assistance internationally is extensive. The new Bestfeeding is a model of how to “de-technify” lactation. It continues to be one of the most desirable manuals available to the new mother and an excellent refresher for lactation specialists.”
