Hi Carrie (and fellow LactNetters),

I'm a new CLE and a new LLLL, but I have nursed four children into  
various stages of life and been a longtime breastfeeding enthusiast.  
I've done LOTS of reading through my 12 years as a parent, not just  
for my certifications but for the joy and interest in learning about  
breastfeeding. If I had to recommend just one book to a new mom, I  
would go with the new Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. It is  
comprehensive without being overwhelming, and it inspires confidence  
rather than instilling a fear of all the "what-ifs." I have met a few  
first-time moms going through Bradley childbirth classes who also  
gave it rave reviews, too. It has been completely rewritten and has a  
really nice, modern tone that I think new mothers can relate to.

Just my $.02!

Thanks to all in this fabulous community...I learn so much by reading  
LactNet, and it reminds me of just how much I still need to learn!
