Ina may is an American Treasure
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Thee is no doubt that Ina May is an American Icon and she truly conveys the beauty in childbirth. With her new book she explores the beauty and the stigma of breastfeeding. Outside of pregnancy and delivery, breastfeeding is one of the most natural experiences a woman can have. You bring the life into the world and you can sustain that life as long as your child needs the nourishment. She is the author of Spiritual Midwifery and her story is only reaching more and more people. I hope to see the day when a woman can breastfeed in public without having to fear that others might be offended. This book along with Hands Off My Belly: The Pregnant Woman’s Survival Guide to Myths, Mothers, and Moods are tow books that help with the entire process from conception through breastfeeding. You owe it to yourself to learn all about breastfeeding before that day arrives.
