Book Review of The Nursing Mother's Companion

The Nursing Mother's Companion
reviewed on


Good basic information on human lactation with excellent drawings of holding positions and "what to do when..." section. My only concern is that the author advocates having the baby sleep with the mother in bed. The American Academy of Pediatrics does not support this view based on evidence and danger of baby being rolled on or suffocated. This is an older version. I can only hope that updated versions correct this.
