Top 7 Breastfeeding Books

Kathleen Huggins wrote this classic text for breastfeeding mother's. In all the books I've read I find this one the most helpful. Not only does it cover the basics, but it breaks the information down into small pieces so you can read it in the middle of the night while trying to get an answer without having to wade through many other answers that aren't relevant. Has great drawings!

This La Leche handbook is a classic text for breastfeeding mothers, being one of the first available to moms so many years ago. Several editions later it's still in it's prime and going strong. It also offers practical advice for birth related questions in the La Leche philosophy.

This book is the source for answers! Originated by La Leche League it has a great reference section with easy to find answers for nearly any situation at hand. It's a wonderful gift for a midwife, pediatrician, lactation consultant, doula or OB. It belongs on the shelves of everyone involved in the field.

This book is written by mother of eight, nurse, and lactation consultant Martha Sears. This handy book takes you from the first feedings to weaning and everything in between.

This book is charming! It shares the ups and downs of breastfeeding from mothers who have been there. Their helpful hints ring true to life, rather than something that sounds good to some guy in a lab. The powerful stories and delightful tales make this a fun, as well as educational, read.
