“What a delightful book. The photos of mothers breastfeeding their children are refreshing to see and joy-
filled. I’d recommend this lovely book to all nursing mamas.” -Elizabeth Pantley, Author of Gentle Baby
Care and The No-Cry Sleep Solution
"As the saying goes 'breast is best!' That is why babies Near Mama’s Heart are the happiest!"
-Harvey Karp, M.D., author of the book/DVD The Happiest Baby on the Block
"What a joyful celebration of breastfeeding as natural, beautiful, ideal! Sinking into the gorgeous photos
and lively words of this book, it is hard to believe that bottlefeeding could ever have been the norm. I
particularly appreciate how siblings and daddies are integrated so lovingly into this book. Guaranteed to
make a child giggle with delight and a parent tear up with pride and baby love." -Hilary Flower, author of
Adventures in Tandem Nursing: Breastfeeding During Pregnancy and Beyond
"The beautiful collection of photographs that appear in “Near Mama’s Heart” will truly capture the heart of
every reader.” -Amy Spangler, MN, RN, IBCLC, author of BREASTFEEDING, A Parent’s Guide
"An absolutely wonderful children's book about mamas, babies, and breastfeeding. My little nursling wanted
to read it again and again!" -Kelly Bonyata, BS, IBCLC, RLC, www.kellymom.com
"The breastfeeding book that every new baby needs, a chance for them to see (in print!) babies (just like
me!) of all shapes and sizes breastfeeding so happily! The book, with its rollicking rhythm and yummy
photos was enjoyed immensely by my little nursling who patted it repeatedly, patted her breast and then
patted mine, as if to say, "yes, exactly, right." And then, of course, we nursed...how could you not after such
a celebratory book?" -Heather Cushman-Dowdee, creator of Hathor the Cowgoddess and the
Evolution Revolution and www.thecowgoddess.com
"Reading Near Mama’s Heart and drinking in all the pictures brought me back to my breast-feeding days. I
love seeing all the babies’ little hands resting lovingly on their mothers’ breasts and their eyes looking deep
into their mothers’ souls. This book is full of nourishing beauty."
-Saralee Sky, owner of Womb To Grow and www.babynut.com
