The Nursing Mother's Companion, 7th Edition, with New Illustrations: The Breastfeeding Book Mothers Trust, from Pregnancy Through Weaning Review: First time mom- highly recommended - As a first time mom, I highly recommend!! In a nutshell, this book is detailed and well organized with information from before birth until weaning. I bought this book when I was 7 months pregnant and read it all the way through at that time. I felt confident that I understood the science behind breastfeeding but knew that I wouldn't fully grasp the concept until my little one arrived and we were working on mastering breastfeeding together. I browsed the early parts of the book again (mainly the trouble shooting sections of the first days/weeks of breastfeeding) about a week before I gave birth. I took this book to the hospital with me when it was time to meet my baby. I honestly didn't reference it once while I was there, but it was nice to have just in case! The hospital I delivered at has amazing lactation consultants, so I didn't necessarily need the book then but the lactation consultants were impressed by the amount of knowledge I knew/was applying to feeding. It was useful to have already read this book and have some background knowledge on the subject. If your hospital doesn't have LCs, I would definitely recommend taking it with you! Since we have been home from the hospital, and am on my own with mastering feeding, I have used this book many times! As a first time mom I as overly concered with if my baby was getting enough to eat. After relooking at this book, I felt confident she was. I had trouble with engorgement for a few days after my milk came in and successfully navigated through that with the help of this book. I also broke out in hives before my daughter was two weeks old and the drug interaction appendix was extremely helpful when it came to figuring out how I would treat them without affecting baby. Now I'm using it to make sure I am building my supply up (ie storing correctly)before returning to work and will continue to use it as a resource as I navigate back into my work role. If you are serious about breastfeeding buy this book! Review: This Mother of 7's Favorite - My OB/GYN gave me this book when my first child was born in 1990. It is different than other books. It is a book that you CAN read cover to cover, but it has sections that deal with each bump in the breastfeeding road, problem solving, and infant age-specific chapters. It gives general information and how-to's, then gets right into the trouble shooting: Feeling pain while feeding? Struggling in the first two weeks of baby's life? Baby is fussy? Baby isn't latching on? Have twins? Body shape concern? Feeling engorged? My original copy fell apart as I re-read and referenced issues for each of my babies. I gave a copy to two of my pregnant daughters, now I am getting another for a third daughter. This is formatted much better then any of the other books I have had/seen. Sooo very helpful. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #335,062 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #389 in Baby & Toddler Parenting #597 in Pregnancy & Childbirth (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (436) | | Dimensions | 6.13 x 1.38 x 9.13 inches | | Edition | 7th | | ISBN-10 | 1558328823 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1558328822 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 448 pages | | Publication date | July 15, 2017 | | Publisher | Harvard Common Press | ## Images ![The Nursing Mother's Companion, 7th Edition, with New Illustrations: The Breastfeeding Book Mothers Trust, from Pregnancy Through Weaning - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91hOUjiilVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First time mom- highly recommended *by B***E on January 22, 2016* As a first time mom, I highly recommend!!

Sooo very helpful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for new nursing moms *by H***R on July 12, 2017* Everyone has an opinion when it comes to breastfeeding- nurses, pediatricians, lactation consultants, your friends, your mother in law, random people on the internet. You will hear a TON of conflicting information, and wonder who's right and who's wrong. Ultimately it will be up to you to sort out what's right for you and your baby. For me, this book was an indispensable tool to do just that. It wasn't preachy of judgy, and I really trusted the info. Pretty much any issue that came up during my nursing journey was covered. It was nice to have a book I trusted to reference while navigating the early days of nursing, especially having a baby that did not gain well right away. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/53227673-the-nursing-mothers-companion-7th-edition-with-new-illustrations-breastfeeding](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/53227673-the-nursing-mothers-companion-7th-edition-with-new-illustrations-breastfeeding) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
