What the book is all about Breastfeeders Anonymous is a light-hearted, informative and easy-to-read book, perfect for new mums or pregnant women hoping to breastfeed. It is not a DIY Guide to Breastfeeding (although there is a chapter on the 'Mechanics of Breastfeeding); it's a support group in a book, in which a number of mums relate the good, bad and ugly of breastfeeding. In addition to the personal stories, Breastfeeders Anonymous also includes: Information about issues relating to breastfeeding, specific types of breastfeeding and a chapter on breastfeeding problems. Frequently Asked Questions with answers by Lactation Consultant, Joy Anderson. A chapter on bottle feeding, which showcases the medical reasons why some women can't breastfeed. A section on breastfeeding related issues such as dummies, sleep, guilt, weight loss and biting. A section entitled 'The Poli-tits of Breastfeeding,' which explores issues such as human milk banking, feminism, weaning and what men have to do with breastfeeding. An overview of the history, culture and politics of breastfeeding over the last five hundred years. A section exploring the mechanics of breastfeeding, which also includes resources such as infant weight charts; recommended books, websites and equipment, and contact details for mothering organizations. Beautiful breastfeeding photos. 28 breastfeeding myths busted.
"This book is a great pregnancy read and an invaluable handbook for new mums. Breastfeeding is the biggest challenge in those early months and ante-natal education doesn't do nearly enough to prepare women to learn a brand new skill. Rachael's 'real woman' guide combines facts and humour to support first timers through to old hand breastfeeders." Tracey Lucock; Fresh Mums [updated 30 March 2008]
