Breast is Best was revolutionary - not the first UK-grown book for
mothers on bf (there was Sylvia Close and Sheila K before then) but
the first one that came out just at the moment that mothers and HCPs
started to realise what we had lost with the move away from bf.
I think the first edition was 1978.
I was assistant editor of a parenting magazine at the time, and Penny
Stanway was our breastfeeding expert - I learnt loads from her, as I
had direct contact with her in my role as editor of the 'help and
advice' pages. The questions mothers sent to us were heart-breaking,
and many of the issues they raised continue these days, sadly.
It was the main book to read when I first began training as a bfc in 1980.
