I didn't read this book cover to cover, but read large chunks and used it as a reference the first several weeks post-partum every time something confusing or frustrating would come up regarding breastfeeding (which was often!). It answered almost all of my questions in a clear and balanced way. I only wish it had more info on mixing bottle feeding with breastfeeding, and breastfeeding issues for non-newborns (this is in there, but not covered in depth).

This book is pretty much what it represents itself to be- everything you can think about in regards to breastfeeding. Want to know how to fly while feeding? Check. What kind of clothes to wear? Check. Advice
On solid food introduction- right here. I was a bit disappointed in the lack of pumping info for exclusive pumpers, since it's a legitimate form of breast feeding. There was some info, but could do more to comfort women who ep. Especially in regards to clogs. Also thought there would be more practical tips on weaning. There was a lot of general information, much of it useful, but I learned more in my fb group on that topic.

Highly recommended book tho!
