It's a beautiful book Chari. Well worth buying. I doubt it will have much (if anything) that you don't already know but it's wonderfully affirming. I read it a few months ago (June I think) and as I am still nursing it certainly was a boost.

It would make a great gift for a new mom!

God bless!

Michele,

I should have known YOU would have already had your hands on this book.

I did not expect to learn much

...but I had hoped it would add some words of wisdom to my mind, for helping others breastfeed.........especially since I come across the occasional Catholic mom who does not give breastfeeding a chance......or only for a few weeks

I would like to be more inspiring

plus..........I have not read a good breastfeeding book in awhile..........

I can LEND it to new moms

Thanks.....I will order it by mail on Monday!

Enjoy that little critter!

Chari,
I have Breastfeeding and Natural Child Spacing by Kippley. That one was a good read and taught me how important those night time feedings are! We have used breast feeding as our main way of child spacing for the last 3 children and they are all close to 2 years apart.

Off topic...do you have any idea where the circle letter is stuck at?

I thought it would have come back around by now, but then again we sure did wait a long long time for it to come back around the first time didn't we??
