What is a good book about breastfeeding?
ByI’m looking for a book with a lot of information on breastfeeding. This is my second child but my first time breastfeeding and I don’t know too much yet. I can’t go to meetings or anything like that because I have no car and no way of getting around especially with two kids. Can anyone recommend a good book?

The La Leche League Website has lots of different articles…their book is terrific, ‘The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding” it covers virtually EVERY BF related topic. I also like Sheila Kitzinger…not sure of the name, but she has many books about childbirth, postpartum year, and breastfeeding

I also recommend http://www.kellymom.com it’s one of my favorite online resources. You can also check the La Leche League website – http://www.llli.org and their chat forums at http://forums.llli.org/
A good book to check out is _The Breastfeeding Answer Book_ or _The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding_
Good for you for giving breastfeeding a go! You can do it!

“So That’s What They’re For” is a good one. Also the ones reccomended above as well as Kellymom.com, breastfeeding.com, and mothering.com/discussions

My bible is The Nursing Mother’s Companion Guide. It’s the most comprehensive book on breastfeeding that I’ve ever read. I cannot recomend it highly enough. It’s now my standard baby shower gift.
It has an index where you can look up symptoms or problems, diagrams, charts, and all kinds of useful information.
