But in a society that places little value on breastfeeding and mothers' feelings, their painful stories are often swept under the carpet to the detriment of women's mental health and experience of new motherhood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProfessor Amy Brown has researched what breastfeeding really means to women, how they can feel when things don't go according to plan and importantly, how we can change things for the next generation of women. Her findings make fascinating reading for anyone with personal experience of breastfeeding difficulties, those who support mothers to make infant feeding decisions that are right for them, or those who simply want to be part of changing the conversation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'\u003cspan\u003eHelped me understand the emotions my wife was going through during her breastfeeding journey'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-hook=\"rating-out-of-text\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"a-size-medium a-color-base\"\u003e - 5 Star Review on Amazon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-hook=\"rating-out-of-text\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"a-size-medium a-color-base\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'\u003cspan\u003eThere are very few books that address the mental health and emotional turmoil that can come with a challenging breastfeeding experience. Professor Brown demonstrates clearly that there is clearly a problem that traditional breastfeeding prep is lacking. Preparing mothers for the common feelings of overwhelm and negative thoughts in postpartum must be addressed before we can turn this ship around - relaxation skills aren't enough and are insulting to the women who are experiencing so much psychological distress in early postpartum.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e - 5 Star Review on Amazon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReady to request a book?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScyh0BhhfsxpyWXAIAVpZaWbR6094tj2wrnL3ffXINk8WMZfQ\/viewform?usp=sharing\u0026amp;ouid=100555799018586885958\" title=\"Request to borrow this book\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRequest Here\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll borrowing requests are subject to availability.
