By learning the seven basic principles in this book, mothers can dramatically increase their likelihood of success and make breastfeeding the enjoyable experience it should be. The seven laws taught in Breastfeeding Made Simple are easy for mothers to understand and are sure to help them avoid some of the pitfalls that they might otherwise face.The seven principles include: Babies Have the Urge to Self-AttachUse the Power of Skin-to-Skin: A Baby's Natural HabitatBreastfeed Ad LibReach for the Comfort ZoneExpect Cluster NursingMore Milk Out = More Milk MadeBabies Outgrow BreastfeedingThe book also addresses how to solve common problems and deal with special situations such as breast reductions and babies with special needs. The authors describe some of the social, psychological, and cultural reasons why breastfeeding is not currently the norm, and what this implies for mothers. In all, this is an easy-to-use breastfeeding resource for new mothers, which includes all the latest research and techniques used by those in the lactation field.

      Very informative but almost so much so that I think I'll find it hard to go back and reference when I need to. I found myself highlighting and bookmarking huge sections and wishing it was organized more as a reference guide so it would be easier to come back to these sections in the future. Overall a great, extensive overview of breastfeeding with tons of advice and historical/scientific data.

      While I always keep my copies of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding and The Breastfeeding Answer Book handy, this is so far my favorite basic lay-person's book on the normal course of breastfeeding. The author is to-the-point and provides enough information for readers to make their own informed decisions about breastfeeding and managing common breastfeeding challenges. If only the text had an index! Although the text itself is direct and straightforward, it can be aggravating to flip pages in search of that one paragraph you know you remember seeing, but can't find again.
