'I think it's a great book - with such an important message. I wish you every luck with it. Get it to as many publishers you can think of now. And, if it would help to have a quick 'foreword' from me (totally free obviously) then I'd be happy to write it.'
Anne Diamond, writer and broadcaster
'You're right I am a breastfeeding supporter of enthusiastic proportions. If I meet anyone useful I will most definitely pass on your book. In the meantime, good luck!"
Nigella Lawson, writer and cookery presenter
'I so enjoyed reading this refreshing, informative and dare I say exciting approach to breastfeeding by Sharon Trotter. Easy to read, it is packed with really useful, practical information for mothers, midwives or other health professionals, concerned with successful breastfeeding.
Sharon's approach avoids being zealous or patronising but rather persuades the reader that breastfeeding is wholly worthwhile and ultimately satisfying for mother and baby.
I recommend it as a jolly good read'.
Dame Lorna Muirhead DBE ( Immediate past President of the RCM)
'I have managed to have a quick look through the book and I am sure you are aware there are so many different books and leaflets on the market, so it was lovely to see that you had actually taken the time to get informative information across to all of the people who are still uncertain about breastfeeding.'
Michelle G Mone, founder and co-owner of MJM International
'I thought it was very interesting and informative and I hope that it is not long before you find a publisher. I'm sure a lot of new mothers would find it very useful - lots of luck with the project.'
Eamonn Holmes, GMTV presenter
'I read it all, as soon as I got it. I am now four months pregnant and am very confident about breastfeeding this baby, thanks to your help and support. I hope you will write more books, as I would certainly buy it in the shops.'
Mother of two bottlefed babies, hoping to breastfeed this one
'A very clear, simple to understand and compelling read for anyone considering breastfeeding. It is as if the Author is talking just to you.'
Midwife and mother of two breastfed babies
'We all thought it was a great idea to have a handbag sized reference book and thought it was very informative, especially for first timers.'
Mother-to-be and friend
'If I was new to it all again, I would definitely consider breastfeeding, after reading your book.'
Mother of two bottle-fed babies
'This book would certainly have encouraged me to persevere with my attempts at breastfeeding (which were not successful, due to a lack of help, information and encouragement). Its easy to read, light-hearted and full of good advice - you cant go wrong!'
Mother of three bottle-fed babies
'A very interesting, humorous and informative read. You tell it, as it is, warts and all. I'm sure this would give mums the confidence and encouragement to stick with it.'
Friend - no children yet
'It brings back many happy memories. Your style of writing is refreshing, down-to-earth, realistic and is easy to read for all. I liked your 'Did you know' section and your personal feelings maintained my interest, making me keen to read more.'
Midwife and mother of two breastfed babies
'When I saw the amount of pages, I thought I would find it boring and end up not reading it at all. However, it was totally the opposite, it was a really informative read, that is enjoyable at the same time.'
Mother-to-be (now a successful breastfeeder!)
'I couldn't put it down! Even though I didn't manage to breastfeed my son 35 years ago! I found it a very enjoyable read. I just wish it had been around for me, then I may well have been more successful.'
Mature mother of one bottle-fed baby
'It was obviously written with a lot of passion for the subject and was very informative to one that has never been involved! I also found it humorous in bits and loved the bit about keeping a kitty for carry-out meals!'
Friend - no children yet
'I was given a draft of your book from my friend. I have enjoyed reading it very much and my only wish being that you had written it a year ago, before I started to breastfeed my baby daughter.'
Mother of one breastfed baby
'I wish I'd had this, my first time around, breastfeeding back in 1975!
Mother of seven breastfed babies!
'I enjoyed reading your personal experiences. It made the reader feel that you were having a chat with them. Its not too long, so it keeps you engrossed until you've finished reading it.'
Midwife and mother of one breastfed baby
'I think your book should be given to all pregnant women, so they can read it before the birth.'
Mother of four breastfed babies
'I found it informally and warmly written. I liked the accessible language and it was direct and very easy to read. I like the way you personalised it (this makes it easier to identify with you and therefore your topic). There was a gentle humour which was good to see- some books on this subject can be a bit 'worthy', which, I think is off-putting.'
Friend, social worker, and mother of one breastfed baby
I LOVE your book. The mixture of information and the personal touch is wonderful. I wish I had had this when my babies were born. You put the message across with passion and humour. It's a very easy read!
Midwife, friend and mother of three breastfed babies
As a first time breastfeeding Mum of twin boys, I found the advice, hints and tips in this book invaluable. If you are looking for all your questions to be answered simply and conclusively, then it's a must have.
First-time mother of twins
Having now reached my goal of three months, for breastfeeding, and feeling it's the best thing; I have no intention of stopping, even though I am returning to work. My supply of breast milk is in the freezer ready, I know it's not quite the same, but my baby still gets the best milk. I have passed your book on to my friend, who is breastfeeding her premature baby (born at 28 weeks) and now four months old. She promises to write to you.
