Please tell me your recommendations for books on breastfeeding. I'm going to be new at this and need all the help I can get.

    Disclaimer that this is coming from someone who has never breastfed, but my friend lent me a book called "So Thats What They're For!" and I've enjoyed it. Its infromative but also humorous. I will say that its pretty strong on the exclusive BF approach from what I remember, so you obviously have to think about what you are hoping to do.

    I didn't read anything but make sure you see the lactation consultant at the hospital ASAP after delivery.  I breastfed until DS was 7 months.

    This is a great website, https://www.drjacknewman.com/ -- and, his book is great!

    Also, I HIGHLY suggest attending your local La Leche League meetings. :-)

    I enjoyed "So that's what they're for" as well...funny as well as informative. 

    Ina May Gaskin's "guide to breast-feeding" is also great (anything by her is).

    GL!
