So you plan to breastfeed your baby. Hooray! But what if things don't quite follow your plan? Because, let's be honest, breastfeeding is not always as simple-or glorious-as folks make it seem. A new mom is rarely prepared for the drain of breastfeeding (and we're not just talking milk ducts). No modern mother has time to read a magnum opus on the nipple. Textbooks are great, but we ought to get back to the breast . . . and the heart beating beneath it. Not Another Breastfeeding Book cuts the fluff and tells it to you straight, from one mother to another. Loaded with facts and inspiring full-color pictures, Chelsie Knight offers a down-to-earth look at starting and sustaining a breastfeeding relationship. Easy to read in one sitting or flip through for just a few minutes, these pages offer the support you need to reach your breastfeeding goals. Because breast milk is pretty amazing for everyone involved. AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY: Chelsie Knight is a mother and wife who loves spending time with her family, friends, and her two rambunctious dogs. As someone who personally struggled with breastfeeding, she feels called to encourage women to trust in their innate strength and in their natural bodies to be all that they were meant to be in motherhood. Chelsie was born and raised in the Midwest, is overly passionate about water-skiing, and will typically say yes to any activity that involves a lake or body of water. AUTHOR HOME: Jordan, Minnesota

Most new parents want to do everything they can to ensure their baby has the best chance of having a great life. After reading all the books, talking to all the friends, and eating all the right foods, parents quickly learn, however, that taking care of their baby is not formulaic. Everybody seems to have a different answer. According to author Kathleen McCue, a nurse practitioner and lactation consultant, there is no ONE right way to do it. She suggests you should take everybody's advice, stir it up in a big pot, and pull out the pieces that work for you and your baby. In a humorous way, McCue shows you that you already have all the tools you need to do this parenting thing, and to do it well. McCue compares breastfeeding to falling in love; it's not a thinking thing. It's something that evolves and takes on a life of its own. Too often, people try to intellectualize breastfeeding and make it an activity that is a learned skill. McCue contends there IS no right way- there's your way and your baby's way. You and your baby will find your way to successful breastfeeding if you just trust your instincts. With over 37 years of practice, the author has learned that helping parents with breastfeeding is a careful balance of giving opinions, citing research, supporting, listening to, and learning from infants and their parents. Often, the help she gives has little to do with breastfeeding and a lot to do with reassuring and providing parents with general hints at parenting newborns. McCue has designed this book to provide new parents with hints on how to do all this, and remind them that they already have the knowledge, strength, and skills to be a successful parent. She presents this information with humor and good common sense, making this book a fun and informative read.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Oxytocin is the hormone that is released during labor and birth, and it plays a large role in lactation as well. It is also responsible for the letdown reflex, which is the stimulation of the breast to release milk when stimulated by the baby. #2 The hormone oxytocin is released when we are breastfeeding, and it helps to lower stress levels in both mother and baby. It also helps to promote a sense of trust and closeness between people. #3 The ability to produce oxytocin is shared by all mammals, and expressions of maternal kindness and generosity are not limited to our own species. The Sriracha Zoo near Bangkok, Thailand, has attracted a lot of media attention for its cross-species suckling arrangements. #4 The way to have high oxytocin levels is to avoid stress. This means not having any interference with your ability to connect with your baby once her breathing is spontaneous and unassisted. This is especially important during your baby’s first hour of life.
