 Best Resource on Tandem Nursing |

When I went in for my first prenatal appointment with my third child, my doctor thought it was my six-month medical after having my second. Once we vacant up the mix-up about why my chart said I was pregnant, (because I was!), her first statement/question was "Well, you'll wean the other one now, right?" My negative answer elicited a roll of the eyes and small sigh, but really she knew me too well to be surprised, and well enough to know she couldn't change my mind. After listening to my spiel about the research I'd been doing, her only requests were that I see a nutritionist and that if I veteran pre-term labor I would consider weaning.
Not every mother is fortunate enough to have a encouraging doctor or the resources to find out the truth about nursing while pregnant, or tandem nursing. But thanks to Hilary Flower, the topic is out of the proverbial closet and right out there on the shelf at Borders Books. ADVENTURES IN TANDEM NURSING is a staggeringly comprehensive guide to tandem nursing and all surrounding the run into. The first book of its kind, it is being celebrated as a well-researched, authoritative resource for mothers and health care practitioners alike.
One of the things that makes this book fantastic is the simple-to-use format. The book can be read honest through, but it really shines as a quick allusion. The chapters take up all from making the choice to wean or continue nursing while pregnant to finding positions to adoptive nursing of a second baby. Common fears and myths are also addressed, such as the real facts about miscarriage and who gets what nutrients first. Frequent anecdotes and tales from real moms add an enjoyable constituent as well.
Hilary Flower should be commended for her sensitive, pragmatic approach to this topic. She looks at tandem nursing honestly, not through a fuzzy filter. Not every writer can acknowledge that some choices are not for everyone, while at the same time supporting and informing mothers on every side of the issue at hand. In the end, she lets the world know that "real, wonderful mothers are really doing this!" And with the help of this book, they can now do it even better. |
This book is an brilliant resource, highly recommended

| I remember the first time I saw an eleven month ancient baby who could walk nurse. "disgusting!" I thought. A few years later, I saw a toddler walk up to her mother and say "mommy, can I nurse?" I was appalled. Well, quick forwards to the present. I am now nursing a 26 month ancient toddler who can walk and talk in perfect sentences and I am ALSO nursing her four month ancient sister! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would be a LaLecheLeague type. I thought they were so farthest. Hahaha! Life is amusing now and again. Now I wouldn't have it any other way, and I can hardly judge that I was so ignorant and judgemental in the past. I just wanted to give my background so you could be with you that this review is sincere. This book is fantastic. It goes into every possible thing you ever wanted to know about nursing during pregnancy and then nursing (and caring for) two very young children at once. She *really* understands and she has some fantastic advice. I find myself turning to it again and again as a resource. It goes into the real nitty gritty... will nursing while pregnant cause problems for the baby in utero... how do you really entertain an active toddler while you are caring for a newborn, all by physically? The author doesn't judge anyone for choosing to wean, if apt, and she lets you know that this is not as simple as it may sound. It is a fantastic book. I am preparation on buying it as a gift for a dear friend who is now trying to choose whether or not to wean during her pregnancy. I reckon the book will cover that for her better than I ever could. |

| Adventures In Tandem Nursing: Breastfeeding During Pregnancy And Beyond by Hilary Flower is a comprehensive, best, "reader friendly" instructional resource offering all expectant mothers need to know about breastfeeding, including its pros and cons, dealing with discomforts, dealing with disapproval, adopting a second nurseling, proper nutrition while breastfeeding, illustrative mothers' tales, and more. A solid, exhaustive, balanced, and gamely reachable resource, Adventures In Tandem Nursing is very highly recommended conception -- especially to new and soon-to-be parents taking into account breastfeeding, as well as those who are presently breastfeeding older infants and toddlers. |
A must-have for nursing Mommies who become pregnant again!

I cannot say enough excellent about this book! Though there is a fantastic deal of accurate info on nursing, the field narrows considerably a propos nursing while pregnant or tandem nursing, and this well-on paper book fills that void!
I first read the book while my nursling daughter was 12 months ancient, right after we exposed I was pregnant again. I did not want to take this source of nutrition and comfort away from my daughter but didn't want to jeopardize the health of my new baby, and this book gave me the information I needed to make a well-knowledgeable choice to continue nursing her. Today, we're luckily tandem nursing with her 10 month ancient brother!
I especially appreciated the chapters on nutrition (for Mom, new baby, and older baby), the scientific research provided, and most of all the tales by real Moms who had nursed while pregnant and tandem or triandem-nursed!
I'd urge this to anyone interested in the subject of nursing! |
Couldn't have done without it

| I'm a new 2nd time mom of a 3week ancient daughter and a 26.5month ancient son. Right through pregnancy, I had many people telltale me to wean my son as to continue nursing would harm both him and me. Hilary's book was a blessing as it listed the pros and cons in continuing our nursing relationsip all in one place. It serves as an encouragement for me as I read about other moms who had faced the same problems during pregnancy. And now, as I face issues with tandem nursing, I'm able to refer to the book and gain vital insights and tips on how to handle two at the breast. It has really helped ease the stress and edginess I face as I deal with two nurslings. I have absolutely no qualms about recommending this book to anyone taking into account nursing through pregnancy and then continuing to tandem nurse. Its chockablock full of excellent and relavant information on paper in an simple to read format. The cute illustrations are fun too! I wish there were more like it on the market. |
