Wish I had listened to this sooner
In the depths of breastfeeding issues with a newborn there was no time to listen to an audiobook but I really wish I had listened beforehand! I thought I had more time to research breastfeeding but my baby came early - I’d highly recommend listening to this book while pregnant if you are wishing to breastfeed as common problems are explained so will be less of a surprise when they happen to you! Explaining the whole fourth trimester and what to expect is really helpful. I’m listening just coming out of the fourth trimester and there are so many things mentioned that I recognise, just wish I’d have listened to this book sooner

Essential read for breastfeeding mothers
This book is excellent and an essential for breastfeeding mothers. I wish I had read/ listened to it before giving birth but I have finished it at 6 weeks postpartum and it’s been really helpful. It covers all the essentials and I think has made me look at my latch more which is helpful and has also given me more confidence in breastfeeding and cemented a few points such as holding my baby will not make a rod for my own back- all the societal pressures and unrealistic and horrible. I highly recommend this book!!

Excellent overview and really easy to follow
Really enjoyed listening to this and will re-listen over again once my baby arrives. Helped me feel more prepared and gives easy to follow, sound advice for breast feeding and generally for the first months following baby’s arrival. Would highly recommend! I shared this with all the expecting mums I met on my NCT course.

Advice support
I love all the myths that aren’t actually true which I thought was. She had really made me come away believing I can do this no matter what! Honest upfront and informative! Just what I needed to start my breastfeeding journey when baby arrives. Thank you

what a resource!
This book has really helped me to understand some of the challenges I have had in my breastfeeding journey. It is really validating and full of practical advice which is delivered in a compassionate and understandable way, can really recommend to other mums both in prep for birth or after. really handy to have on audible as a new mum with limited hands free for holding a book!

Ideal to read/listen whilst pregnant
I am a midwife and IBCLC myself and I found this hugely useful. The explanations are clear and I learned some helpful parenting tips I had not thought of before. I found it hugely reassuring, as I am currently in the 10-12 week change of feeding cues stage. It was lovey to hear someone else say it’s normal. Chapter for partners/family and friends should be mandatory reading.
My only criticism is that whilst I understand the importance of being inclusive, I don’t recall any use of the word mother and woman. I think it can be unfair to assume that all readers understand the evidence. The 80% of parents stopped before they are ready may be interpreted as the father/second parent. Similarly, the drugs passage, it assumes that all readers will know that the information is for the breastfeeding mother/parent.
I understand that it’s difficult. This book is much more likely to be picked up by well educated women (as we know from evidence). From a new mother point of view, I had an extremely difficult pregnancy. I was referred directly to as a ‘birthing person’ three times. It genuinely made me cry as I was being prepared for a 33 week delivery and I just wanted to say ‘I’m her mum.’
I find the RCOG guidelines inclusive (passage at the start) but they still use the terms woman and mother. I find Professor Amy Brown is also very inclusive but still retains the words women and mother. I am pointing this out because it’s important to remember someone may have bought this in the depths of despair and be thinking this is about me, and not my partner. I’m my baby’s mum.

Invaluable, evidenced based advise for new and experienced parents
Informative, friendly and full of non judgemental helpful advice. Confidence boosting and reassuring explanations of regular newborn behaviour. A book that leaves you feeling better about your parenting abilities. Lucy feels like the friend we all need to vent to in the fourth trimester- thank you!
