Breastfeeding made Simple:
Seven Natural Laws for Nursing Mothers
by Nancy Mohrbacher, IBCLC

(Reviewed by Columbia Center's Ann Grauer)

Every once in awhile a book comes along that you read and say, “Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? It’s so common sense!” Breastfeeding Made Simple is that book.

Written in a smart, caring manner, the book helps build moms’ confidence in their ability to breastfeed by breaking the process down into seven “laws,” as the author calls them:

1. Babies are hardwired to breastfeed
2. Mother’s body is baby’s natural habitat
3. Better feel and flow happen in the comfort zone
4. More breastfeeding at first means more milk later
5. Every breastfeeding couple has its own rhythm
6. More milk out equals more milk made
7. Children wean naturally

The feedback from moms who have used this book as their resource while nursing has been extremely positive. We hope you’ll find room in your diaper bag for Breastfeeding Made Simple.
