Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
This book is a supportive, evidence-based guide to infant feeding from one of the most respected researchers in the field. In her characteristically warm and clear voice, Amy Brown helps parents explore the full landscape of feeding decisions—breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, mixed feeding, and more—free from judgement or pressure. She provides practical information about how feeding works, what challenges might arise, and what to expect physically and emotionally throughout the early months. The book encourages confidence, compassion, and realistic expectations for new parents navigating their baby’s nutritional needs.
Why It’s Included
This book speaks directly to the core philosophy of our parenting community: informed choice, relational feeding, and respectful support for all parents. Unlike many feeding books that focus narrowly on technique, Brown explores the why behind feeding struggles, societal pressures, emotional experiences, and the value of responsive parenting. It’s one of the few books that validates the emotional complexity of feeding decisions and acknowledges systemic barriers to breastfeeding success. Whether a parent chooses, plans, or needs to feed in a certain way, this book offers clarity and kindness in equal measure.
Who It’s For
Ideal for expecting or new parents who want a grounded, non-judgemental introduction to infant feeding; for doulas, lactation professionals, and maternal health workers looking for a compassionate, research-backed resource to recommend; and for those supporting families with feeding grief, anxiety, or transition. It is particularly valuable for those who have struggled with pressure or guilt around feeding choices and want evidence-based reassurance.
“Amy Brown’s extensive research into the barriers women need to overcome to breastfeed puts her in the unique position to comment on the decisions they make and the support they need. This book complements her other works and prepares parents for the realities they may face”
