The Nursing Mother-s Companion- Fifth Revised Edition Nursing Mother-s Companion Paperback

5 stars (The Best Nursing Book You Can Buy) - I discovered this book two months into breastfeeding, and wished I had found it sooner. Everything you possibly need to know about nursing is under one cover. Unlike most other breastfeeding books that only discuss nursing a newborn, this book contains information on nursing newborns through toddlers. Highly recommend this book for all nursing mothers. 5 stars (Excellent nursing book!) - I bought this book as I am expecting my second baby and had problems nursing the first. I went through at least half a dozen lactation consultants with my first before I got the info I needed to make breastfeeding successful, and this was after the first two weeks and after my baby was hospitalized due to dehydration. I wish I had this book then, as it covers everything I needed to know about poor latch/insufficient milk supply. I am learning so much as I read the book and feel so much more confident as I approach the birth of my second. This book covers every issue I think you could come across with breastfeeding. 5 stars (Lots of good info) - Great book. Actually answered some questions (one in particular) for which I'd been unable to find answers elsewhere. Including at the Medela booth at a professional conference. Highly recommended, nonpartial, good book. ...

Our Bodies- Ourselves - A New Edition for a New Era

5 stars (Updated information AND layout makes a healthy book) - This book is by far the best ever. It is the first edition of OBOS which I feel really addresses the equally pressing healthcare needs of myself and younger generations of women. I had used prior versions of this book, but still had felt that the authors of those versions assumed that the readers had been with them through the 1970's...etc. The tone of this book is very inclusive and non-presuming. Consequently the medical information presented does not get lost in the personal vingettes. Our own generational experiences are just as important. Also, the authors take an enligthened approach to sexuality instead of segmenting off "LGBT/queer" issues into a couple of areas. This book is further commendable because it made more of an effort to tell the stories (and thus provide culturally sensitive health care) for different women. Kudos to the people who suggested a redesign and updating of the book layout. 5 stars (A must have!) - Especially in a culture as embarrassed to talk about anything sexual, this book is a great resource for everyone. Information as open and educated gets harder and harder to find in today's political environment, and this book has it all. No home should be without it! 1 stars (very political) - While I understand the possibility of political opinions surfacing in books, what was supposed to be a helpful guide for women of all ages is in reality a campaign for pro-choice and many other liberal stances. The book goes so far as to state that those that are pro-life "have created an atmosphere that is stigmatizing, threatening, and too often violent." While there have been cases of violence that the great majority of us do not condone, I find it very offensive that this opinion about us causing trouble that apparently isn't warranted is stated as a fact. Also included are various opinions about how religion has caused problems for teenagers especially, stifling them in the...

Taking Charge of Your Fertility- The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control- Pregnancy Achievemen

4 stars (Very informative) - Great book. It is well written and explains a great deal about my body. 4 stars (What I thought I already knew...) - This book taught me things that I thought I already knew... boy, was I wrong! It helped me understand my cycle and helped my husband and I with our "family planning" more than what I ever thought it would! I am not a "reader" - I don't like read books because I get bored with them... but this book was different! It held my interest very easily - before I knew it I had read the entire thing! So if you are trying to conceive or trying to prevent it, this book is for you. 5 stars (TCOYF was especially helpful.) - I found this book to be insightful of how our bodies work and show us when fertility is peaking. I have recommended it to friends. ...

Body for Life for Women- A Woman-s Plan for Physical and Mental Transformation

4 stars (A real tool for attaining health and fitness for life) - Body for Life for Women should be considered an essential guide for women's preventive heath. Because it is focused specifically on the unique health and fitness needs and problems encountered by women, it is much more valuable for women than general health or diet texts. While it promotes a plan of "12 weeks to a fabulous body"; to see it as a mere diet or fitness book sells short its real value. A diet book may help us (temporarily) lose a few pounds; this book aims to show us how to create a healthy body in which we can live independently throughout our lives. As a spokesperson on health, Dr. Peeke is the real thing. She is an expert on the most current understanding of nutrition, preventive health and women's issues. The book is well written, inspiring and accessible. It gives women, especially those of us over 40, real hope and guidance as we wonder why "what we have always done" to stay fit is not working any more. I found especially interesting the section on life milestones, which describes a woman's health priorities at each stage of life. The mind principles, which urge us to examine the attitudes that shape our behavior, are a wake-up call. Dr. Peeke is a big fan of the Nike slogan "Just Do It". In this book, she tells us exactly what it is that we must just do and provides the tools and motivation to keep doing it. 5 stars (You won't believe it!) - I have completed my 12 week program and am astounded by the results. I'm 53 and a dancer but I never thought my body would return to this level of fitness. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I don't intend to stop my regimen because I feel so good and the weight keeps coming off. I've already added almost six pounds to my muscle mass and my fat percentage is now 23.8%. Lory Reyes 5 stars (Set for success) - Will "Body for Life for Women" be as successful as the original "Body for Life" by Bill Philips? At the moment we don't know, bu...

Varney-s Midwifery- Fourth Edition

5 stars (A must read) - I have always found Varney to be useful and easy to read, especially in comparison to Speroff or Gabbe. I think that this book was never intended to be the definitive text on home birth. If a midwife's interest lies in homebirth, seek out books that cater to that option. I found the skills sections especially helpful. It isn't Varney's job to unite midwives, her primary job is to educate. You can not teach the spirit of midwife through a book, that's where mentoring comes into play. This is certainly a must have for all practicing midwives, regardless of educational background. 2 stars (Technically accurate, boring read) - I am impressed by Varney's vast knowledge of hospital procedures as they relate to midwifery care. However, I found this to be "textbook" as a very boring read. Her information did not really cover the practice outside the hospital setting as thoroughly as would be needed for someone praticing in that setting. Her information would be most appreciated by the CNM and the L&D nurse - a great resource for them. 3 stars (This is a good reference book, but not the best for homebirt) - This book is a good reference book, but not the best one for homebirth midwives. Myle's, and Anne' Frye's books I have found to be more applicable in my practice. To the above person that thinks that Circumsision should not be addresses, I could not disagree more. Circumsision is a subject that should be addressed prenatally, and Since midwives are supposed to provide basic Post-partum care to the mother and baby during the first six weeks It is essentual that midwives and parents are educated about the issue antapartum ...

The New Feminine Brain - How Women Can Develop Their Inner Strengths- Genius- and Intuition

5 stars (The New Feminine Brain) - Not as easy to understand by the lay person as I had hoped, but great information. 5 stars (The New Feminine Brain : How Women Can Develop Their Inner Strengths, Genius, and Intuition) - This is a very unique book.....I found it fascinating. 5 stars (A Must-Read for All - including men) - Mona Lisa Schulz, MD and PhD, is an amazing intuitive who has synthesized the physical, emotional and neurological aspects of women to describe "how they work." She has given us the power to understand our bodies in order to create a more balanced, enjoyable life. Her examples are brilliant. Her synthesis is cutting edge. A must-read for all!!! ...
