Marking world breastfeeding week we are sharing sections of La Leche’s 9th Edition of The Art of Breastfeeding. The book just has a way with words and always seems so poignant in the search for answers or understanding. I’d really encourage a read-whether you’re pregnant or well into your breastfeeeding journey. It can be bought from the LLL Shop or hired from our local library. .

To mark the celebration of World Breastfeeding Week (1-7th August) we are picking quotes at random from The Art of Breastfeeding (9th Edition). Every page seems to hold such wisdom and a reminder of what power we hold.
