Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. It's not worth the time to get the older one. Too much is outdated.

This book advocates for FOD (Feeding on Demand) and talks a lot of shit about Kathleen Huggins' PDF (parent directed feeding) system. Hilariously, both methods actually are close to the same, once you get past the terminology.

This book is not a balanced book discussing the pros and cons of breastfeeding. It is fully a how-to, encourage the people who want to breastfeed book. If you have already decided to breastfeed, or if you are reasonably sure you want to breastfeed and are looking for a few more arguments in its favor, get this book. If you are sitting on the fence or looking for assurances that formula-fed babies are going to do just as well in life as a breastfed baby, don't buy this book.
For the record, although I breastfed my son and would recommend it to anyone who was expecting a child, I am not of the opinion that those who feed their children formula have doomed their children to failure. There are plenty of perfectly well adjusted formula-fed babies out there--including me! That is one sentiment that is not expressed in this book, however, so do be warned.
However, this book will give you all sorts of tips and descriptions of ways to continue breastfeeding or expressing milk to feed your child. Some folks seem to give up on breastfeeding after a bit of difficulty; it is important to realize that breastfeeding is something you have to LEARN how to do. If you and your baby magically fall into perfect step the first time you try breastfeeding and you have had no one tell you how it's done, you are very lucky!
This book clearly describes how to get your baby to take the breast, what to do if it hurts (it ought not hurt! If it does that means you need to change your technique), and how to make sure that your baby is getting enough milk. It gives you hints about clothes to wear to allow you to breastfeed and ways to minimize your exposure when you breastfeed in public. It is a bit repetative, but it is not really meant to be read from cover to cover. It works much better as a resource you pick up and read sections of at a time.
Once again, it is unabashedly pro-breastfeeding, and it has a chapter on breastfeeding a toddler as well as plenty of discussion about how much better breast milk is for the baby than formula is. This all comes in handy if you're trying to convince some busy-body that you're doing the right thing by breastfeeding, but if you've honestly determined that breastfeeding is not for you, you should save yourself grief and avoid this book.
If, on the other hand, you want to breastfeed your baby but aren't sure that you can, DO buy this book! It can really help you out.

Twenty-five or so years ago, there were only a scant handful of breastfeeding books available, and even less support and practical advice from doctors. At that time, a book like "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding" was a Godsend to mothers who wanted to breastfeed their babies. It not only offered them emotional support, and the knowlege that they were doing right by their babies, but it gave them some basic, practical advice on how to nurse. (And how to fight a medical and social establishment that would assume formula-feeding at every turn.)The advice wasn't extensive, but it was better than nothing. It let women know that it was ok (indeed, even desirable) to feed babies on demand, and that most babies would want to eat more than every 3-4 hours in the early weeks. It let women know that it was ok to nurse for more than a few weeks or months. It let women know that it was ok to delay solids past 6 weeks... or even 4 months. Oh yes, and the book also introduced readers to LaLeche League, a hands-on, personal, mother-to-mother support group where women could meet other women who were also nursing their babies.
Today, bookstore shelves are overflowing with breastfeeding books. Most general babycare books offer tolerably good breastfeeding advice. Most doctors and hospitals are reasonably supportive and knowlegable about breastfeeding. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding for a minimum of one year.
And... unfortunately, as a general breastfeeding book, Womanly Art has outlived its usefulness. Its general breastfeeding advice remains minimal and, sometimes, dated. Its tone has become far too strident for many mothers.
If you are interested in a book about LaLeche League, and are already committed to, or at least very open to, its particular mothering philosophy, the book is worth a read. But it is very much a book about LLL's philosophy (which extends far beyond breastfeeding), NOT a book about how to breastfeed. For breastfeeding books there are many, many better choices available.

Women who just want breastfeeding advice/information are likely to be offended and turned off by the book's tone and, and minimum, will be frustrated at having to wade through the philosophy in order to find the practical advice.

Excellent read for women who want to breastfeed, but are unsure about so many things. Keep in mind though this book is tailored to a stay at home mom and occasionally makes you feel guilty if you plan to return to work.

This book was my life saver! my mom bought it for me because it was the same book she had received with me but oviously an updated version and it helped me make it to 21 months of breastfeeding my first son and now im at 22 months and counting with my second. Every new mother needs this book. Breastfeeding is the single most important best thing you can do for your child.

A gift to my daughter when pregnant with their first child. It gave her the encouragement she needed and an easy reference for things concerning this very important part of her and her baby's life...husband's too.

Don't believe what you find on FB groups. Most women know very little about breastfeeding. You need to be well armed in these times to successfully nurse a baby.

According to my wife, this is a good resource but is definitely a one-sided perspective. The tone is somewhat preachy, so if you're planning on breastfeeding, the tone isn't necessary. Overall a good book to have in a mom-to-be's arsenal.

As a LLL leader and mother of 7 this is a must have book for all mommies who decide to nurture their babies the natural God given way. It will help you in those tough times you may just want to give up! The first bottle given it the beginning of the end of nursing your baby!
