There many breastfeeding books available, some good and some not-so-good. The books on this list are those that I feel offer the most up-to-date and evidence-based information available and are written by experts in the field. I have read all of these books and feel they will give you the most bang for your buck. Many of these books are available through my Amazon store, clicking through this link will provide me with a small donation to continue operating this website.
