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
