Top Ten Breastfeeding Book Sales Over the Past Year
by Angela White, J.D., breastfeeding counselor on October 5th, 2007
This updated list reveals the top breastfeeding book sales through Breastfeeding 1-2-3 over the last year.
1. The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers and Preschoolers: Gentle Ways to Stop Bedtime Battles and Improve Your Child’s Sleep
by Elizabeth Pantley. This is by far the number one best seller for Breastfeeding 1-2-3 readers. That pleases me very much given my feelings against crying-it-out.
The next three books tied for second place.
2. The Nursing Mother’s Companion: Revised Edition
by Kathleen Huggins. You can read my interview with Kathleen Huggins here.
3. Mothering Your Nursing Toddler
by Norma Jane Bumgarner.
4. We Like to Nurse
by Chia Martin and Shukyo Linn. This is a children’s book that shows positive illustrations of animal mothers and babies nursing.
The next three tied for fifth place.
5. How Weaning Happens
by Diane Bengson.
6. The No-Cry Potty Training Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Child Say Good-Bye to Diapers
by Elizabeth Pantley. Interesting that the only non-breastfeeding books on this list are potty training books!
7. Mama Mama
by Jean Marzollo and Laura Regan. This is another children’s board book that contains a positive illustration and some text about breastfeeding.
The next five tied for eighth place (which is why this top 10 list goes to 12!)
8. The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two (Revised and Updated Edition)
by William Sears, M.D. and Martha Sears, R.N.
9. Papa Papa
by Jean Marzollo and Laura Regan. It’s a companion book to Mama Mama.
10. The Nursing Mother’s Guide to Weaning, Revised Edition
by Kathleen Huggins and Linda Ziedrich.
11. The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night
