Breastfeeders Anonymous
– For women who want to breastfeed

By Rachael Blair
with FAQs by Lactation Consultant Joy Anderson

Released August 2007, Fontaine Press
RRP $28.95 inc GST

Breastfeeders Anonymous is a light-hearted, informative and easy-to-read book, perfect for new mums or pregnant women hoping to breastfeed. It is not a DIY Guide to Breastfeeding (although there is a chapter on the 'Mechanics of Breastfeeding); it's a support group in a book, in which a number of mums relate the good, bad and ugly of breastfeeding.

In addition to the personal stories, Breastfeeders Anonymous also includes:

  • Information about issues relating to breastfeeding, specific types of breastfeeding and a chapter on breastfeeding problems.
  • Frequently Asked Questions with answers by Lactation Consultant, Joy Anderson.
  • A chapter on bottle feeding, which showcases the medical reasons why some women can't breastfeed.
  • A section on breastfeeding related issues such as dummies, sleep, guilt, weight loss and biting.
  • A section entitled 'The Poli-tits of Breastfeeding,' which explores issues such as human milk banking, feminism, weaning and what men have to do with breastfeeding.
  • An overview of the history, culture and politics of breastfeeding over the last five hundred years.
  • A section exploring the mechanics of breastfeeding, which also includes resources such as recommended books, websites and equipment, and contact details for mothering organizations.
  • Beautiful breastfeeding photos.
  • 28 breastfeeding myths busted.

Rachael is an English teacher by trade, a stay-at-home-mum by day and a freelance writer by night (she rarely sleeps). She lives in regional Western Australia with her husband, two young boys and a menagerie of animals. Rachael breastfed both her sons and due to her passion, research and interest in infant feeding, has become a kind of breastfeeding mentor to those who know her.

Joy has been helping mothers as a breastfeeding counsellor with the Australian Breastfeeding Association (formerly the Nursing Mothers' Association of Australia) for over 20 years, and professionally as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant for over 15 years. She lives in Western Australia with her husband and two adult children, who were each breastfed for about two years. Joy has a special interest in food intolerance and breastfed babies, and is currently studying full-time towards qualifying as a Registered Dietitian.
