Brilliant Breastfeeding is essential reading for every mother or mother-to-be. It is a book to share with partners and supporters because it empowers readers with knowledge and confidence. Brilliant Breastfeeding takes the stress out of all parts of breastfeeding your baby, from the vital skin-to-skin first feed, to returning to work. It is more than a manual to arm breastfeeding mothers with the most up-to-date information and strategies for every possible scenario-it is a non-judgemental friend to help you to sit back and enjoy a unique time of loving and bonding. Jo Gilpin's extensive experience as a midwife and lactation consultant, along with her friendly, readable tone, make this a unique and comprehensive book. ''Brilliant Breastfeeding is much more than a book on breastfeeding-it hits all the right points about the important issues in the early months with the new baby.'' Dr Howard Chilton, Neonatal Paediatrician.
