Only after Shapiro shares her own nursing saga, complete with lactation consultants, chocolate binges, and a new use for green cabbage, do her friends and relatives confess to their own travails. Breastfeeding may be natural, but it is not always instinctual, and one doesn''t have to go it alone. There are professionals who can make it work without pain, and it does get easier.Whether or not your breasts have been involved in any world-saving activities, you won''t be able to put this book down until you''ve read the last line.
