Customer testimonial about this book.
' I bought this book when I was expecting my third child .I had breast fed the previous two but had experienced a lot of problems particularly in the early stages, and had received a lot of conflicting advise.This time I was determined to be prepared and read the book cover to cover before the baby was born.
It was a fantastic help and gave me lots of fresh ideas and advice that I had not received before.
I felt much more confirdent starting breast feeding this time, and have used the book many times to help me through when things have become difficult-I highly recomend this book to anyone who is planning to breastfeed.
