It's time for a blog giveaway! It's been 2 months since I went back to work and things have been quite hectic. My top priority now is de-cluttering our home - you wouldn't believe the amount of stuff we've accumulated in 5 years (marriage, having N, then now E). De-cluttering is good because we've been finding things that we thought we had lost. I also found some books which I realized I had bought 2 of - so I'm going to be giving away one of the copies I have!
One of these books would be Janet Tamaro's "So that's what they're for!" book on breastfeeding basics.
The book is mostly text but is written in a "girl-friend" style format. The author covers breastfeeding from start to finish (weaning). She also includes some stories and anecdotes from moms who shared their breastfeeding problems and successes.

| A look inside the book |
If you're a new mom who is already breastfeeding - I wouldn't recommend it at all since it is text-heavy and let's face it - new mom, lack of sleep, crying baby - mom would most likely throw the book out! However, I would recommend this book for pregnant moms to read in their 2nd-3rd trimester. The book is reader-friendly and the author explains breastfeeding in the most simple way possible.
This giveaway is for the 2nd edition of the book (as pictured). To enter to win, visit my
Facebook page and leave a comment on how far along are you and what your biggest breastfeeding worry is.

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, I'm on my 8th month now.. My biggest breastfeeding worry since I'm a new mom is: when will my milk be available because it seems that I still don't have it right now; if my milk supply be enough; and will I be able to successfully perform breastfeeding to my (incoming) newborn.
Im a first time mom and on my 5th month now.Since Im practically new in this baby world I have a lot of fears including how to properly latch my baby, what to do if breastfeeding hurts. Gee! Im worried about latching when I dont even know if Im capable of producing milk. =) But Im so determined to breastfeed, I already bought my ameda breastpump (Ived read that you have one before, the hospital grade one) and an avent nipple protector too.Now all I need is this book to know what I need to know. Tee hee! Advance happy mom's day.

ReplyDeleteHi I'm 34yr old 1st time mom,8n1/2 mos now. I'm really worried as I still see no signs of any first few drops of leaking milk on my breast. I really am for breastfeeding my baby as I know it is the best for him but I'm really worried that I won't be able to give him milk when I give birth this June.
ReplyDeleteHI Ive already posted on your FB page, hope I win the giveaway and widen my knowledge on breastfeeding my baby. Thanks
