Precious Bundle is proud to be able to bring 'BREASTFEEDERS ANONYMOUS' to the UK.

Breastfeeders Anonymous is a light-hearted, informative and easy-to-read book, perfect for new mums or pregnant women hoping to breastfeed. It is not a DIY Guide to Breastfeeding (although there is a chapter on the 'Mechanics of Breastfeeding); it's a support group in a book, in which a number of mums relate the good, bad and ugly of breastfeeding.

In addition to the personal stories, Breastfeeders Anonymous also includes:

Information about issues relating to breastfeeding, specific types of breastfeeding and a chapter on breastfeeding problems.

Frequently Asked Questions with answers by Lactation Consultant, Joy Anderson.

* A chapter on bottle feeding, which showcases the medical reasons why some women can't breastfeed.
* A section on breastfeeding related issues such as dummies, sleep, guilt, weight loss and biting.
* A section entitled 'The Poli-tits of Breastfeeding', which explores issues such as human milk banking, feminism, weaning and what men have to do with breastfeeding.
* An overview of the history, culture and politics of breastfeeding over the last five hundred years.
* A section exploring the mechanics of breastfeeding, which also includes resources such as infant weight charts; recommended books, websites and equipment, and contact details for mothering organizations.
* Beautiful breastfeeding photos.
* 28 breastfeeding myths busted.

Three hundred and forty un-put-downable pages of breast feeding support group. Broken down into readable chunks, whether you start at the beginning or just dip into it. Having struggled to get my first baby to feed, it was wonderful to hear about other women’s experiences and I’m definitely going to give it my best go for baby number two due in three months. Breastfeeding myths explained, informative sections on your ‘rights’ to breastfeed, men, feminism and milk banking.

I would have loved to have learnt more about the history of breastfeeding, but there are plenty of references given. If you are in the UK, don’t be put off by the Australian publication house, the information is applicable and plenty of UK stories and perspectives are given.

Breastfeeding may be the best way forward for infant nutrition, but if it’s not working for you, then this book also gives you the ‘OK’ to try other ways: expressing, cup feeding or formula.

In my opinion, an excellent read, especially for first time mum’s who are facing a barrage of information and choices and second times mum’s that want reassurances, reminders or a good laugh at all our embarrassing moments!
