The Breastfeeding Café book is a compilation of stories experienced by nursing mothers. The author, Barbara L Behrmann, holds a Ph.D. from the Pennsylvania State University, specializing in women’s health and work and family issues. She, a mother who experienced first hand breastfeeding problems, understands the challenges every new mother faces, especially when it comes to breastfeeding.
Her popular book is being read and endorsed by mothers, health care professionals and lactation consultants. The book offers many different kinds of breastfeeding stories experienced by mothers. Barbara Behrmann shows that there is more than one right way of breastfeeding and challenges our way of thinking what is “normal”.
The author looks at many questions surrounding nursing. For example:
* Why women describe breastfeeding as healing, empowering?
* Why do women nurse preschool aged children?

This book gives the reader plenty of very useful information, insight and answers to all the breastfeeding questions they might have. It would make a valuable gift for every new mother-to-be.
