Hi, Kathleen. Like the bad penny, I'm back, I hope for good.
Altho I have tremendous respect for LLL, I found the Womanly Art
quite user-unfriendly: Difficult to locate specific information,
insufficient indexing (I'm a bear about a good index), annoying
chirpy input by bfg moms when I want to know NOW (3 am) *exactly*
what to do, etc. Maybe it's a personality-chemistry thing?
The book that really turned me on was Karen Pryor's Nursing Your
Baby. I read the 1973 edition (in 1979 after my third), but
there's a 1991 edition written with the author's daughter as co-
author. I admit to taking exception to a few things in NYB, but
for the most part, I feel it is well-written and empathetic. When
I talk to a book at certain passages, I know it's gotten to me.
Anyhow, that's my suggestion. Best regards, Judy Knopf in Beer
Sheva, Israel
