The Nursing Mother's Companion has been among the best-selling books on breastfeeding for over 30 years, with over 1 million copies sold. It is respected and recommended by professionals, including The International Lactation Consultant Association, T. Berry Brazelton and The American Academy of Pediatrics, and is well loved by new parents for its encouraging and accessible style. Kathleen Huggins equips breastfeeding mothers with all the information they need to overcome potential difficulties and nurse their babies successfully from the first week through the toddler years, or somewhere in between. This fully updated and revised edition provides information on topics such as: - Benefits of breastfeeding - How to cope with breastfeeding obstacles and challenges - Incorporating a nursing routine into working life - Treating postpartum headaches and nausea - Nutritional supplements to alleviate postpartum depression - Sharing a baby with baby (co-sleeping) and the risk of SIDS - Introducing solid foods - Expressing, storing, and feeding breast milk Reviews of breast pumps Readers will also find Huggins's indispensable problem-solving "survival guides, set off by colored bands on the pages for quick reference, as well as appendices on determining baby's milk needs in the first six weeks and the safety of various drugs during breast-feeding.In addition, this edition opens with a new Foreword by Jessica Martin-Weber, creator of the very popular website The Leaky Boob and a new Preface by Kelly Bonata, creator of the go-to site KellyMom. These two much-loved authorities speak to the importance of owning an authoritative breastfeeding book that cuts through the jumble of opinions, information, and misinformation on the Web. Now more than ever, The Nursing Mother's Companion is the go-to guide every new mother should have at hand. 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. ## Features - The go-to guide every new mother should have at hand. - Includes indispensable problem-solving "survival guides." - Details the benefits of breastfeeding. - Provides tips to incorporating a nursing routine into working life. - Information needed to overcome potential difficulties and successfully nurse. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,320,133 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,476 in Baby & Toddler Parenting #79,323 in Health, Fitness & Dieting (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 434 Reviews | ## Images ![The Nursing Mother's Companion - 7th Edition: The Breastfeeding Book Mothers Trust, from Pregnancy through Weaning - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VnH2n6pxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First time mom- highly recommended *by B***E on January 22, 2016* As a first time mom, I highly recommend!!

I can't count how many times i have referred to it for my own use nursing each of my children (had the older edition as well). There is so much practical and helpful information on here that i haven't found in other nursing books or online. I highly recommend this to all of my nursing mom friends and anyone expecting, it would make an excellent gift for a first time mom or someone who has another baby on the way and has nursed in the past. I credit my nursing success of both my babies to this book. Very easy to understand and covers a wide range of issues and topics related to nursing. Can't say enough good things. Truly love this book. --- ## 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.tn/products/14043659-the-nursing-mothers-companion-7th-edition-the-breastfeeding-book-mothers](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/14043659-the-nursing-mothers-companion-7th-edition-the-breastfeeding-book-mothers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-13*
