Sydney mother and author Melissa Macdonald has put her heart and soul into this book, to help pregnant women prepare themselves for breastfeeding and to aid new mums in those first crazy few weeks after having a baby.

She is mum to two boys Cameron and Cooper and like most women experienced difficulties breastfeeding. "I was in tears a lot of the time and couldn't understand why I was failing at what was meant to be such an easy thing to do" she says.

Melissa has interviewed hundreds of women who shared with her, their stories of feeding their babies both breast and bottle and the highs and lows that come with it.

"I am not a doctor, midwife or lactation nurse, I am a mum with life experience just like all the other mums in this book, who will give you real life examples".

Melissa spent many months researching the fundamentals of breastfeeding and bottle feeding so that she can give mothers and mothers to be, straight forward realistic and easy to read advice. It really is the best investment you will make for your baby.

Melissa Macdonald is a respected media commentator  and has appeared on the Today Show several times to talk about Breastfeeding issues. She has also written a string of articles for a number of magazines and websites in Australia and the USA.
