Or (as cartoonist author Kate Evans writes) if you don't have an independent book retailer nearby, it's on amazon.co.uk!

It's my latest book The Food of Love and it's very useful if you are, or are about to become, a breastfeeding mother.

And other people like reading it too, including childless blokes, which surprised me, until someone pointed out that it has naked bosoms in.

As well as that, we have:

funky cartoons about babies
a step-by-step visual introduction to latching on a newborn
a little on the socio-political and historical context of breastfeeding in our society (just because I draw pictures doesn't mean I'm thick)
some sly digs at Gina Ford's Contented Little Bootcamp
stuff about why it's lovely to sleep with your baby
stuff about why it's really bloody annoying to sleep with your baby
the most comprehensive and readable chapter on breastfeeding complaints of any book in print (that's a challenge, there)
solutions for post-natal depression that could save your sanity
and The Mama Sutra - advanced breastfeeding positions
And, all this in a blingingly shiny gold book that is designed to stay open at the page, so you can read it with your hands full.

So I'd quite like you to:

buy the book (publisher: Myriad Editions, ISBN: 9 780954 930950)
or order it at your library, if you're too credit crunched for spare cash
and/or review it on amazon (I suppose, technically, you're supposed to have read it first)
and blog it, and recommend it to others, and buy more copies, and give them away
and forward this link to anyone else who might be interested.

The Food of Love - because babies don't act like Tiny Tears and we don't look like Barbie dolls.
