I bought this for my daughter who is a first time Mum. She found this book invaluable and wished she'd had it from the moment the baby was born. It has helped her enormously to settle the baby into a routine and reassured her about lots of other things that are important when you are a New Mum.

Very informative
This book is gentle and informative. It even has a section of breastfeeding preemies, which was espcially helpful to me as my first child was a preemie born 3 month early. It helps with lost bonding time and the various techniques are really helpful when the traditional position for BF is not working. Learning how to hand express was also helpful. the instructions are clear and illustrated. Well worth the investment.

New edition has great updates
THE WOMANLY ART is an important book to me. I read an old edition while pregnant. Upon reading this new edition of the book with a baby in my arms, I fell in love with the words because they described mothering through breastfeeding and all the other concepts that I have since lived. I found information about flat nipples and nipple shields that was absent from earlier editions, and wished I had this information while I was struggling with a newborn. I reread other pages that provided the classic La Leche League information and now fully process the time-tested information. Information is factual and carries the spirit of mothering through breastfeeding with it.
