5 Stars FULL of good information!
An excellent and thorough guide to nursing mothers’ nutrition needs. An important reference. In my opinion this book is much more thorough than the book “Eat Well, Lose WEight while Breastfeeding” by Eileen Behan.
5 Stars must have reference for nursing moms
This is a terrific reference for any expecting or nursing mother. I wish I had had it before my first born. I highly recommend. Information in this book is very hard to find elsewhere.
5 Stars the BEST buy for a breastfeeding mom EVER
This book is outstanding. I had originally bought “Eat Well, Lose Weight, While Breastfeeding” and was so disappointed, I sent it back to Amazon. Then I found “Mother Food.” I can’t tell you what a valuable resource this has been for me. It has a very international feel (the author is Swiss) because it references cultures from all over the world and connects you with moms from ever corner of the globe on what works best for producing the highest quality of breastmilk for your baby. The best recipe in the book is for the “green drink.” It’s a blend of raw fruit and vegetable juices that increases the quantity and quality of your breastmilk amazingly. I make this drink everyday and since then have been able to pump a full 5 oz more milk each day. I have looked and felt so much better since beginning some of the routines described in this book and my baby has been much happier and had hardly any colic! You absolutely MUST buy this book.
2 Stars Good information, poorly organized
This book has a lot of great information, but it is poorly organized.
For example: if we were having colic problems and wanted to find more information about resolving the issue, I would have to read a few paragraphs out of a few chapters. It would be a much better book if it was easier to reference back to.
I wish I knew of a different book to reccomend.
5 Stars Great Book
Mothers food is a great book and has helped out a lot. My baby was born 12 weeks early and I have been pumping for four months, I was always behind in my milk production and since reading Mothers Milk It has helped me to up my milk production and also eat a healthier diet.
