Kathleen-
I tried to figure out the best single book a few months ago.
I got lots of lactnetters' opinions It was
almost impossible. Many opinions but no absolute consensus.
Here is what I think:
For a motivated mom who reads well:
The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding
For a mother who doesn't read quite as well:
Breastfeeding Pure and Simple.
For good diagrams but text has a few flaws:
Bestfeeding
For a slightly different perspective, also a high reading level:
Nursing your Baby
All are available from LLLI.
