Welcome to

the Breastfeeding Café's Book Nook...

...where you'll find books on breastfeeding and childbirth, ranging from how-to advice, to thought-provoking commentary and insight, to cultural critique.  We highly recommend each and every one!

The first of four excellent resources for a new nursing mom to have on hand.

Our very own Breastfeeding Cafe, a blend of stories, insights, and cultural critique.  How could we have a book store without it? 

This book should be mandatory reading for all health care professionals who work with pregnant moms. 

An excellent resource for those who have had breast reduction surgery.

Great resources for nursing moms returning to work.

More breastfeeding books to be added in the future!

What these childbirth books have in common is a belief that every pregnant woman should make her own birth choices based on knowledge and information, not on standard protocol or the advice of a particular provider. Birth from a position of power!

A wonderful book that dispels medical myths surrounding birth and replaces them with the knowledge to birth powerfully, yet gently.

Note:  The author is mistakenly listed here as Suzanne Arms.  The actual author is Barbara Harper.

The first of two books that every pregnant woman should read.  Not "What to Expect" but what you need to know to be critically informed about birthing.

Note that Amazon has incorrectly identified the author of this book.  The actual author is Henci Goer.

An excellent book from perhaps the world's most famous midwife.  Includes lots of birth stories, too.

Packed with wonderful ideas, stories, and suggestions for you to help celebrate a woman's transition to motherhood.

Fascinating critique from the woman who started the natural childbirth movement back in the 1970s.

A fascinating, engaging memoir of an amazing midwife, as good at story-telling as she as at catching babies.

An excellent book for those who want to deeply understand how technocratic society shapes our approach to pregnancy and childbirth. Note that anything by Sheila Kitzinger is excellent!

Another great book for new moms.

More pregnancy and childbirthbooks to be added in the future!
