Book Description
Breastfeeding may be natural, but it is not always instinctive. The 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic guide to breastfeeding, beloved by a generation of women, has been completely revised and updated to provide even more practical, reassuring advice and support for today's expectant and nursing mothers. Easy-reference survival guides help identify and resolve problems at each stage. An appendix on drug safety is a unique feature among breastfeeding books.

The Best and Only Nursing Book You Need.......2007-10-01
Super informative, easy to understand, great resource section. I have 1 other book--the AAP book--and it is not 1/2 as good. Great layout, natural order of progression. And best of all, no hidden agenda, or platform to proselytize from. I read it over and over again, nearly wore it out, used every inch of every page of it. You cannot go wrong buying this book. It's like having a lactation consultant 24x7. Buy it! :-)
Great breastfeeding book-one of the best!!.......2007-09-04
Are you a new mom? Do you desire to breastfeed your baby but find yourself lost? Are you a seasoned mom who has breastfed before? This book has something to offer for every type of parent! I found it invaluable while I nursed my son. Especially for those parents who do not have a readily accessible lactation consultant or La Leche League group in your area. Best book to add to your parenting library!
Great Book For First Time Moms!.......2007-08-15
I purchased this book just a few days prior to having my baby, and was so happy that I had my copy with me at the hospital. It has been a great reference from day 1. I took a breastfeeding class at our hospital, but they did not address the challenges of breastfeeding at all. I was not prepared, and thank goodness I had this book handy to help me through engorgement, latching, pumping and storing. I highly recommend it to any mother who is even thinking about breastfeeding.
Invaluable living overseas.......2007-08-06
I don't write reviews often, but I had to for this book because of the help and comfort it has given me.
My husband and I are living overseas in Germany. We speak the language but not to such a specific extent which makes problem dr. visits more challenging for us. This book has been my saving grace. It helped us with many things from getting off to a good start with the latch, how to keep baby awake to feed, medicines ok to take during nursing, breast infections (I've had 3), sore nipples (now that baby is teething), all the way to starting solids. I wouldn't feel so comfortable in my nursing practices living over here without it.
There is a great deal more to breastfeeding than I ever thought and this book addresses it all. I brought it with us to the hospital and I'm still referring to it today - baby girl is 6 months already. I can't say enough about this book.
Great Reference.......2007-07-26
This book contains comprehensive, solid information to help you become a successful nursing mother. I recommend buying this while you are pregnant to read up on what to expect and plan for those early weeks and beyond. I still use it for reference if I have a question.
We are still nursing at 11months and plan to continue for a little while longer.
So That's What They're For is also a great nursing book if you are looking for something that is a little more casual in tone.
Above all, I think a determination to succeed and confidence that you are giving your baby the best start in life are what helps the most.
Book Description
The top-rated book on breastfeeding, rated by the International Lactation Consultant Association as the best possible choice.

A Good Reference For Nursing Mother's.......2007-07-10
This book was easy to read and very informative. I was able to find a lot of answers to my questions as a first time nursing mother. It covers everything from pregnancy to weaning a toddler and it really helped me through every stage. I would recommend every nursing mother have a copy.
Five Stars.......2006-03-17
I was very pleased with the promptness of delivery and the quality of the product.
Saved Me During the First Week.......2005-09-23
No matter what anyone says, breastfeeding is not always easy. There were times during the first couple weeks of breastfeeding that I thought that I would give up. This book saved me!! I only read the parts that I needed, and I felt encouraged. I would recommend this for any mother planning to nurse!!
Best Breastfeeding reference out there.......2005-05-20
I totally disagree with the person that put this book down and touted the Dr. Sears book. I too have both books....in the early stages of breastfeeding when you and your little one are still trying to figure out everything....the Sears book is useless. It doesn't help you trouble shoot any problems you might be having...nor does it tell you things you might run into or pitfalls you might expect. This book however was my right hand guide. Any question or problem I ever had I always found a viable answer or suggestion in this book. That helped me continue on because I could carry on knowing everything was ok or that I should consult somebody for help. I think I am a testament to how helpful this was since I am still breastfeeding my daughter happily at 14 months and just starting to wean. My origional goal was only 6 months. Buy this book it is extremely helpful. Breastfeeding is not an easy thing even if your baby takes to it correctly right away. You have to be determined to make it work before the baby gets here. If you just say you'll try it...you will fail at it or give up fast most times I think. Any kind of helpful resource is a push in the right direction for the good of your baby.
"Survival" Sections are great ".......2005-04-26
This book answered a couple of questions that went unanswered in the Sears Breastfeeding book and in the LLL "Womanly Art of Breastfeeding", so I found it worth having.
Worth noting: the author, Kathleen Huggins is the lady who patented the "My Brest Friend" nursing pillow - a great nursing tool!
This book features "survival" sections which are highlighted for easy access and summarize the events of the child's and mother's breastfeeding needs at particular stages: "Survival Guide for the First Week", "Suvival Guide for the first 2 months", "Survival Guide for months 2-6" and "Survival Guide for the Later Months"
None of my three breastfeeding books have all the answers, but I think that if you bought this book and the Sears book, you will have all the info you need.

Aunt Pam and I have been working together to create a website for Butter Busters. Its online now at butterbusters.com! Be sure to check it out and come back often for new additions. We're just getting started!
Wonderful.......2000-03-14
This is a very inspiring book. I bought the Butter Busters cookbook years ago, and I bought this one when it came out. I've been eating and living low-fat and healthy for three years, and it has definitely paid off! This book is like a support system as well, connecting to all the other people who have found the knowledge of Pam Myscoski. There are also really good recipes in here, some for bread machines as well. Just a great book! This system of living can change your life for the better, if you let it!

5 stars, but only for the right person.......2003-08-06
This is a huge (almost 500 page) cookbook/lifestyle book on how and why to live almost fat free. This type of lifestyle change takes a huge committment that most people can not sustain. That said, some can and do. For those people this book would be an excellent resourse. Along with many recipes there are brand suggestions that I rarely see and grocery store suggestions that I don't believe I have ever seen. She also gives suggestions about products she especially likes as not all fat-free products are equal in taste appeal.
I think that this book has an *all or none* slant to fat which may or may not be a good thing. Some people who could benefit by adding some of these recipes into their diet might be turned off by this approach. It's unfortunate. There are good options and choices here.
The book is set up as a plastic spiral and the pages are a bit hard to turn. The pages aren't wipe-able altho they do lay flat. the cover is cleanable. The whole package has a *community cookbook* feel. That might be a plus or a minus depending on how you feel about that kind of book, its a bit more personal feeling. The illustrations are a bit of a mixed design. Some more elegant, some more cartoon-ish... nothing garish... NO slabs of horrified suet running from a chubby butcher, thankfully
The recipes, and there are many will help you makeover your favorites. Low-fat pizza, quick spicy chile, mexican lasagna, hot fudge pudding pie, etc. Notably absent are beef dishes.. There are 2. On the otherhand, in the creamy vanilla frosting there is 3 cups of powdered sugar. I have to wonder which is more harmful...a small serving of lean beef or the frosting. To be totally fair... that frosting recipe is really the exception rather than the rule, most sweet dishes call for a sugar substitute. I only added it as an example...that the focus is clearly most on lowering the fat in your diet with this book. Sodium is quite moderate altho some main dishes do hover over 500 mg and some are over 1500 which i consider high per serving.
I think this could be an excellent asset for the right person who is extreamly motivated. I think it also could be great for someone who is looking for ideas to add lower fat dishes into their diet or who is willing to take a recipe and adjust it a bit to their liking (ie, to use spray margaine instead of the suggested butter buds, or egg whites instead of the egg beaters or low fat cheese instead of fat free)

This was my lowfat cooking Bible.......1999-05-01
I purchased this book in 1994 when I was approximately 50 pounds overweight. I was just learning about lowfat eating and did not know how to prepare foods for myself and my family that we all would like. I did not want to prepare separate "diet food" for me and regular food for my son. However, with this book, I learned how to convert all the foods I craved, namely sweets and breads, to lowfat. My son especially loved the tortilla soup recipe, and he ate everthing I made from this book without asking "is this diet food?"
Using the principles in this book, I lost the 50 pounds and have kept them off for the past 5 years. I recommend this book for anyone who is beginning a lowfat eating regimen and needs guidance on how to start. I have bought other lowfat diet books since 1994 which are good, but this is still my favorite.
Paige's review.......1999-03-25
I know the lady who wrote this cookbook and she is truly amazing, not only has she written two best-sellers, but she is the best MOM in the world. I love you mom. Love Paige
The best low-fat cookbook I've read.......1997-10-24
I lost 100 pounds over nine months through daily exercise, eating healthy, balanced meals and using this cookbook. The recipies are easy to make and tasty for those who like low-fat and even those who don't (and believe me, they won't know the difference nine times out of 10). If you're looking for a low-fat cookbook, this is the best there is.
