Question by Fajina: Breastfeeding Moms- Are you willing to start speaking as if breastfeeding were the norm?
So instead of saying that breastfeeding is best. It should be breastfeeding is normal and formula is inferior. Maybe if we all started speaking as if breastfeeding is normal more people would do it. Instead of thinking breastfeeding is something extra, or special you could do for your baby people will just see it as normal.
For example: Not breastfeeding increases the risk of allergies, obesity, etc.
Do you think if people began speaking as if breastfeeding is normal more people would be willing to breastfeed, or less likely to fall for the fantasy that formula is okay.

oneworldbirth.net – The South East Coast of England’s first ever breastfeeding flashmob! Filmed in Brighton, UK on December 15th 2011 for One World Birth, a FREE video resource website featuring the world’s leading birth experts that campaigns for better births. Organised by a local mum who was verbally abused in a cafe for breastfeeding in public. Her response was to set up a breastfeeding flashmob, (a “fleshmob”) then she told people about it via the social networks. The result was dozens of breastfeeding mamas, broadcast TV news crews, newspaper photographers and this short film! Really shows the power of social media to transform a local campaign into something bigger and more powerful in record quick time!
A truly outstanding breastfeeding guide,
I purchased this book while researching the breastfeeding chapter in one of my forthcoming books. I immediately fell in love with this book — specifically, with its innovative approach to the material (the seven natural laws) and its warm, supportive, and mother-friendly tone. The authors do a terrific job of explaining the root causes of many common breastfeeding problems in ways that make so much sense. Their section on how taking a “left-brained” approach to the very “right-brained” act of breastfeeding is totally brilliant. I can’t praise this book highly enough.

|For the reluctant breastfeeders…,
I did not breastfeed my first child for more than a few weeks, but when #2 was in the NICU, I had a lot of time to read, and a lot of time to pump! This book suggests setting shorter term goals instead of the “Breastfeed for a year or else” message I seemed to hear with my first child. The book also talks about how the baby breastfeeds, not the mother, which took some of the pressure off. There was also mention of how in the U.S., Moms get a lot of support before the baby is born, but could use a little more help after the birth. A reverse Cinderella idea…very clever.
This book made breastfeeding more accessible, and I want to buy it for every new mom I meet. It was just what I needed to get over some of my nursing baggage.

|Best Breastfeeding Book I’ve Read,
I have done a lot of reading on the topic of breastfeeding, and this book tops my favorites list! The information and research provided in this book are far more up-to-date than what you’ll find in most breastfeeding books. This book helps moms understand how breastfeeding works so that they can adapt their breastfeeding relationship to their specific needs and desires. It also does an amazing job helping moms understand the “bottle-feeding culture” and how that can impact breastfeeding. I didn’t find the book to be pushy at all – in fact, I thought it was very releasing and gentle. I am going to give this book as a gift to all my pregnant friends!

|Breastfeeding Sucks sucks,
Breastfeeding Sucks is the worst breastfeeding book I have ever read, and as a lactation consultant, I have read a lot of breastfeeding books. The attempts at humor are not humorous. There are no illustrations, except for pictures of bottles at the tops of the first page in each chapter. Some of the information is misinformation. Don’t waste your money on buying it. If you get it as a gift, exchange it for The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers by Newman and Pitman, which is my favorite breastfeeding book. For humorous breastfeeding books, both So That’s What They’re For by Janet Tamaro and Spilled Milk by Andy Steiner are excellent.

|Loved it!,
This book is perfect for middle of the night feeding when you need something funny and engaging that also is informative. Many of the breastfeeding books out there, while technically accurate and informative, are very boring and challenging to read with sleepy eyes…and the first few months of breastfeeding (when many of the challenges present themselves) is all about sleepy eyes. Although one review suggests that it is not a good read, I absolutely disagree. I think this book is light enough, short enough, and funny enough to engage the average mother. I would recommend other books as well, but I buy this for all my friends so that they have a book that relieves their inevitable stress about breastfeeding. Great shower gift – great book to pass on – This review coming from a mom who exclusively and successfully breastfed my child for a full year. This book kept me going in the middle of the night. Buy it.
