The Journal of Human Lactation named Kathleen Huggins's The Nursing Mother's Companion "the best possible choice among breastfeeding guides for prospective mothers." Lamaze International praised it as one of the ten most important books for new parents. Could this book, which has helped hundreds of thousands of mothers breastfeed successfully, be made even better? It has been, in this fully updated edition. The growing number of working moms who breastfeed will appreciate the most current information about breast pumps. This edition includes encouraging new information for women who lack the glandular tissue needed to produce milk in the first week, and pharmacist Philip Anderson's appendix on drugs and their safety during breast-feeding has been completely revised. Still full of the practical, problem-solving advice and warm-hearted wisdom it's always contained, The Nursing Mother's Companion is a book moms and healthcare providers can rely upon and trust.
