Breastfeeding with Confidence: A Practical Guide

After giving up on breastfeeding with my first two children, I am even more determined to get it right with my third (when she comes). I thought I was informed before, but obviously that wasn't enough. I picked up this book hoping for "a practical guide" and to gain some confidence to replace my fears of failure. I feel like this book is exactly what I needed. The information is helpful and not over the top. Cox does not use guilt tactics or spend lots of time on the benefits of breastfeeding, that information is everywhere. Instead she focuses on helping the breastfeeding experience to be successful while acknowledging that it can be challenging. I really wish I had this information when I was pregnant with my first.

This book was easy to read and I actually read it fairly quickly. It has a lot of good information in it and I will definitely be using it as a reference when the baby comes.
