"How to Succeed in Breastfeeding Without Really Trying, or Ten Steps to Laugh Your Way Through" provides new mothers with humorous, easy-to-use, hands-on advice and step-by-step instructions on how to initiate, sustain, and actually succeed in breastfeeing.
After giving birth, many women are shocked to discover that breastfeeding doesn't come naturally; rather, it's painful and awkward. Feeling both frustrated and exhausted, they often find themselves without help and support from hospital staff. Not surprisingly, many don't initiate or prematurely quit breastfeeding.
This book is written not only to help women breastfeed, but also to help them feel better overall, especially postpartum -- perhaps the most joyful yet tearful time in a woman's life. The book is strewn with jokes, poems, literary and cinematic associations and color illustrations, which create feelings of joy and festivity so much needed for postpartum mothers.
