I feel much more prepared to breastfeed.
this book gives lots of advice about breast feeding and also parenting in general. And its actually not that bad of a listen as technical as some of the advice can be. the narrator does a great job of keeping you engaged.

Fear mongering “breast feeding is the only way”
I read this for baby number two because breast feeding did not go well the first time as I was so anxious to do anything other than exclusively breast feed.
This book, while it has some helpful tips, further makes you feel like breast feeding is the only way to do it and I can imagine make you feel more anxious if it doesn’t work out. It does not normalize any other type of feeding support and only highlights what is wrong with other types of support.
The best take away from this book is to get a board certified LC to help you navigate your experience.

Table of Contents
The lack of table of contents is an issue, especially in a book like this where the content may be more relevant after certain experiences. Highly suggest adding details.
Also surprised by the lack of breastfeeding after C-section help. I listened to the book cover to cover, but am wondering if I just missed it? Also another reason the table of contents would be very helpful....
