On the Birth of Musings on Mothering - By Teika Bellamy

La Leche League are an organisation that is very dear to me. It was a haven of sense when Maya was a baby. I felt around friends and in fact it's where I met Becky 5 years late when our boys were babies. 

This compilation of stories and poems, complied by Teika Bellamy is the kind of thing you keep on your feeding chair. Breastfeeding is a great opportunity to catch up on reading and this book also makes a mother feel good about the great work she is doing.
