Not really relevant anywhere outside of the US. It is more about the culture of breastfeeding, and why breast is best, than anything else. I don’t really need convincing to breastfeed, as in Australia it is considered normal. It did have some interesting info but overall didn’t find this a necessary read.

Very American

Good info but drawn out - i would get the abridged version. Some studies mentioned seem questionable, but logical overall message

good but too long
