Breastfeeding is the most natural and intuitive thing a woman will ever do. It is also the most challenging and underappreciated. Sitting for hours each day breastfeeding, often in solitude, makes nursing both demanding and a test of true fortitude. This week-by-week memoir written in real-time during breastfeeding, offers fellow breastfeeding mothers camaraderie, thought-provoking ideas (combined with scientific data and knowledge), sympathy, a strong point-of-view, and a long-distance friendship. As you move through your breastfeeding journey, these letters will help you remain optimistic through the challenging times, revel in the loving, fulfilling times, and find hardy, fundamental answers in the questioning times. You had the smarts to begin breastfeeding, you have the strength to continue breastfeeding, and you have the courage to follow it through – this week-by-week memoir is a reminder that you’re not alone. Dear Breastfeeding Mothers is a book for the breastfeeding mother from a fellow mom in the trenches, to help you stay awake during the long hours of breastfeeding. From first latch (or not latching) to wean.
