My Take: I found the book's sections to be well structured. Although it may seen like a lot of information at first, the index made subjects I searched easy to find by topic. Dr. Mom writes with informed knowledge of her subject matter as well as emotion, sensitivity and depth.

I will be having my first babies - yes babies! Twins! I do plan on breast feeding. I know it can be done with two, but will need some help. Books are a great place to start.

I'd love to win this to give it to my friend who is expecting her first child in November and has all sorts of questions about breastfeeding. I know there's still a lot I can learn (currently nursing #2), but I think she'd get more use out of the book.

I was only able to breastfeed my son for a couple of weeks because I was having trouble with him latching on. I would really like to fully breastfeed my next baby without any trouble. I think that this book would really help, considering I didn't really have anyone to guide me with my son. Thanks for the chance!

I'd love to have this book b/c I'm due with my first at the end of september and know I'll need all the help I can get! I don't have breastfeeding friends nearby and think this could be really great resource.

My husband and I are currently trying to conceive and I would like to learn all I can about breastfeeding before baby is born!

Wow. I'm still nursing my first son at 17 months and we've had a really tough go of it. I still struggle with painful nursing sessions and poor latch. I'd love to read up so that hopefully next time it will go more smoothly
