Breastfeeding Sucks sucks,
Breastfeeding Sucks is the worst breastfeeding book I have ever read, and as a lactation consultant, I have read a lot of breastfeeding books. The attempts at humor are not humorous. There are no illustrations, except for pictures of bottles at the tops of the first page in each chapter. Some of the information is misinformation. Don’t waste your money on buying it. If you get it as a gift, exchange it for The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers by Newman and Pitman, which is my favorite breastfeeding book. For humorous breastfeeding books, both So That’s What They’re For by Janet Tamaro and Spilled Milk by Andy Steiner are excellent.

Loved it!,
This book is perfect for middle of the night feeding when you need something funny and engaging that also is informative. Many of the breastfeeding books out there, while technically accurate and informative, are very boring and challenging to read with sleepy eyes…and the first few months of breastfeeding (when many of the challenges present themselves) is all about sleepy eyes. Although one review suggests that it is not a good read, I absolutely disagree. I think this book is light enough, short enough, and funny enough to engage the average mother. I would recommend other books as well, but I buy this for all my friends so that they have a book that relieves their inevitable stress about breastfeeding. Great shower gift – great book to pass on – This review coming from a mom who exclusively and successfully breastfed my child for a full year. This book kept me going in the middle of the night. Buy it.

Finally… a funny AND helpful book about breastfeeding!,
Thank goodness for Joanne Kimes and her wonderfully witty and informative books. I first found her via “Pregnancy Sucks” and have now moved on to “Breastfeeding Sucks”. I find her to be both helpful and engaging (a perfect combination if you’re struggling through sleepness nights and can barely follow a single train of thought). Not only does she tackle the basics of breastfeeding, she zeros in on all the specific problems that can arise in trying to get that baby to latch on. To sum it up I’d say you definitely won’t be “let down” by this one!
