The Nursing Mother's Companion, 7th Edition, with New Illustrations: The Breastfeeding Book Mothers Trust, from Pregnancy Through Weaning by Kathleen Huggins

4.0

I really wish my library had added this to their collection before June. I liked it quite a bit more than The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, it was more modern and a lot more inclusive. I did skim/skip the sections meant for pregnancy and birth since I kind of been there done that. However there wasn't the kind of medication/C-section shaming in WAoB. The sections on pumping were extensive and detailed and I'd highly recommend the book for moms who are exclusively pumping or pumping a lot.

One criticism​ is a lack of information on oversupply/overactive letdown issues, there were some short sections but this seems to hold true throughout every breastfeeding resource I've looked through. Another is there were lots of mentions of pumping shields being too small and not one of them being too big or how to deal with small nipples. I suppose they get lumped in to flat/inverted nipple discussions.
