And if you buy the book, Yasmin... buy the newest edition, the 2009-one! ;-)
Sigh... all those good books that get new editions and that make you 
curious, especially when you read and loved the older versions...
Where to find the financial resources (let alone time!) to replace them...?! 
hahaha
And to stay on topic... read work from Michel Odent. I heard him in October 
in Bad Wildbad, Germany.
I have several books from him on the shelve and was glad to finally have to 
opportunity to hear him, while he's still among us.
The man is 81 now, but still extremely bright and philosophical and still an 
out-of-the-box-thinker.
Incredible, how he was a 'troublemaker', a visionary in his younger days and 
has proven himself to be so right!
You know what he said and what made us all laugh...?
"Science has been very valuable the last fifty years. They have found out 
something we never knew before... a baby needs its mother!"
He's a genius when it comes to birthing physiology. Almost scary, to think 
how many interventions have become common (not normal!) in that essential 
part of procreation.
Good luck with your preparations; once you dive into the material, it's easy 
to get overwhelmed and collect way to much interesting stuff for the alloted 
time! ;o)

Hi Yasmin! Great topic. I heard Linda J. Smith speak on this topic at a LLLI 
conference a few years ago. I also have a book _Impact of Birthing Practices 
on Breastfeeding_ by Mary Kroeger with Linda Smith. If you are able to get 
your hands on it, you'll have a great resource.
