Was recommended to me by a friend after having a baby - such a detailed and informative book providing knowledge on an area which so far is minimally explored. Very interesting and good points taken to bare in mind for the future - I believe this book will save a lot of womens' breastfeeding journeys!

So lovely to see such a wealth of knowledge on such a niche subject, all in one place. Hopefully this is the beginning of relactation being more mainstream!
