"If These Boobs Could Talk" - awesome little pro-BF humor book

[bjorker]

I saw this book yesterday and flipped through it a little bit. I was expecting whiny, cynical commentary, but it was all pretty pro-breastfeeding, while still being funny. I thought you guys might appreciate it - it would make a great little gift for a bf'ing mom-friend, methinks.

It's called "If These Boobs Could Talk: A Little Humor to Pump Up the Breastfeeding Mom" by Adrienne Hedger.

Here's an Amazon link, where you can see some of the pages of the book (although the excerpt they show doesn't really prove my point, but I swear it's not offensive and actually pretty funny). If you're logged into an Amazon account, you should be able to see random pages via the "surprise me" button. There are cartoons in there of women bf'ing while on the job, exercising, doing things around the house, etc. Also, bf'ing in public definitely seems to be encouraged.

Hopefully I'm not duplicating another thread - I don't come into this sub-forum too often anymore, and it's awfully hard to search for threads when I can only use one search term...
