A prerequisite to breastfeeding

The best book ever. Every woman should read this book if they plan on breastfeeding. It helped me sooooo much be prepared for two VERY successful nursing experiences. It gave me a lot of confidence, I recommend it to all my pregnant friends. Funny thing is that the ones that didn't read it, ended up with cracked nipples, latching on problems....etc....coincidence? Not sure..Read it!
