Product Review	I've been using my copy of WAB to give information to mothers by phone. I've found it very easy to navigate, and it gives clear and concise summaries of most issues and problems. I particularly like the warm tone - it is like a having a chat with an understanding friend

Product Review	I like this book, but I actually find 'The Nursing Mother's Companion' more useful when I have a specific problem that needs solving. For example the information in that book on blocked ducts really helped me in an 11pm crisis, and there was no help in the LLL book. I would really like to see a good description of thrush in any book. I have not been able to find one, though having experienced it myself, I feel I could now write one. I would also like to see a description of newborn nursing in a book, as I feel that most of the descriptions are really more relevant to the 3 month old baby (bigger mouth, awake for more than 3 seconds etc.)
