Overview

A Celebration of Breastfeeding is a book that celebrates the beauty and challenges of breastfeeding around the world. An illustrated book to inspire, inform, educate, entertain, support and soothe young mothers-to-be, their partners and family and friends.

Whether you’re a new mother, a young mother or a mother-to-be, if you’re tired and anxious, if you’re excited and looking for information, be ready to have your eyes opened by different perspectives from all corners of the earth. The ideal book for any of the above or any partner or family member ready to celebrate the beautiful journey that is breastfeeding.
