You've Got It In You: A Positive Guide to Breastfeeding

Emma Pickett

This is a warm, reassuring, and refreshingly honest book that offers exactly what the title promises—a truly positive guide to breastfeeding. Written by experienced IBCLC Emma Pickett, You’ve Got It In You meets parents where they are, offering encouragement, practical advice, and emotional support without judgement. It’s ideal for anyone preparing to breastfeed or navigating those first challenging weeks, especially in a world that can feel full of conflicting advice.

Why It’s Included:

This book aligns closely with our values at the Southern Natural Parenting Network. It supports breastfeeding as a relationship—not just a method of feeding—and gives parents the confidence to trust their bodies, their instincts, and their babies. Emma’s writing is gentle and affirming, acknowledging the emotional side of breastfeeding as much as the practical.

Who It’s For:

Parents-to-be, new parents, and anyone supporting a breastfeeding mother. It’s particularly helpful for those who are feeling uncertain or overwhelmed, or who’ve had previous negative experiences and are looking for a fresh start with their next baby.
