Wow Jennifer, I think it is great that Dr. Jack's book is on that list! I
think adding La Leche League's WOMANLY ART OF BREASTFEEDING, Mothering the
Mother by Marshal Klaus, & Phyllis & John Kennell and Our Babies, Ourselves
by Meredith Small would be good additions. Do they watch the Self Attachment
video? That is very powerful.
