The only complaint is its horrible breastfeeding advice. The herbal principles and remedy suggestions (including those for breastfeeding) are clear and easy to understand. It would be a great reference book for pregnant women desiring to begin using herbs during the childbearing year.

Helpful resource on use of herbs preconception, during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. Helpful info about managing pregnancy discomforts with herbal remedies. I appreciate the reference lists of herbs that should be avoided in pregnancy.
