I had such high hopes for this book but ended up being incredibly dissapointed. Way too many essays by women trying to justify why they didn't breastfeed. In one essay the author actually states that there are benefits to formula over breastmilk and I almost closed the book and put it down right then and there. I'm glad I kept reading though because I did enjoy the essays at the end about weaning.
I guess I shouldn't have been too suprised since most of the authors write for magazines such as Parenting and BabyCenter.com.
I would never recommend this book to someone that is pregnant and wants to breastfeed.

I will re-read this AFTER I've been a breastfeeding mom and perhaps my rating will change. As a pre-breastfeeding mom, I found some of it overwhelmingly negative. I appreciated the honesty, but in some of the essays the authors seemed to hammer on the negative aspects with a nuclear force, as if to counteract the unrealistically positive words that many of the "breastfeeding nazis" use. In our culture, it has become taboo to say bad things about motherhood and the things that accompany it - and I understand that that is not a healthy approach... But I do not think that bitterness is a healthy reaction either. Some of the essays near the end were very funny, and I did learn something from every single one. I do not recommend this for mothers on the fence either way about the decision to breastfeed, but it does seem to be a good cultural introduction into how people will react to you if you choose not too.

I loved this book. It is exactly what I needed to read right now. So much of what is out there sugar coats how great it is going to be to breastfeed and it never addresses the idea that a lot of times it is hard to get the hang of it. This is by no means a "how to" book about the topic but that is exactly why it is great.
A lot of the reviewers on goodreads were upset because it didn't glorify breastfeeding more but in my opinion, there are a million books out there for that, this one is great just as it is. The stories weren't negative by any means, it just showed that everyone has their issues with figuring out what is best for their situation.
It was also a perfect length for reading right before the baby comes since time is getting tight.

LOVED IT! I read this book just after finishing nursing my son at 17 months). I am currently expecting number two and getting ready for round two of breastfeeding. I am trying to figure out and prepare for any different experiences I I might have this time. This book had amazing stories about real life women and thier experiences with feeding thier babies. I will be re-reading it periodically as I breastfeed again. I loved that it was REAL showing both the funny stories, the hard ones, and even women who didn't breastfeed because they adopted but felt guitly about that. I wonder as a society how we can both encourage and support more women to breastfeed, but also not put a guilt trip on those mothers who are not able or simply choose not to breastfeed at all or for very long.
*edit after reading reviews: I will admit I jumped around reading whatever story I opened up to. After reading some other reviews I may have skipped some stories that seemed to rub other readers the wrong way. No this is not a how to book, a feel good and make you get all lovey dovey about breastfeeding. But guess what--its not all lovey dovey. I LOVED breastfeeding, I work full time outside my home (went back at 6 weeks), I pumped--a lot. In the eary months some days I got up at 4:30 to pump, got ready for work, nursed, then pumped 2-3 more times at work, rushed home to nurse, scarfed down dinner, nursed again at bedtime, and was up 2-4 times at night to nurse again. Repeat. not to mention all the washing bottles and pumping parts. Then there was the two weeks he had a double ear infection where he hardly nursed so I pumped...and pumped...and pumped...and worried that he wouldn't pick back up nursing again or that my supply would be harmed. It was hard. there were times I thought about quitting, but it also was great. I loved nursing my son and plan to do it again with the child I'm expecting. I agree with another reviewer who commented that this book helped be able to lose some judgement about how mom's feed their babies. Breastfeeding is a choice I made for a variety of reasons and some of the stories in this book helped me see other sides to why other families don't.
sorry so long! I get a little fired up about breastfeeding and maternity care in the US sometimes.

The most salient thing about this collection of essays is that it made me react. The essays were all well-written and thought-provoking, but at the same time, this just wasn't what I was expecting to read in a collection with this title. As someone who has nursed for 38 months (31 months with my first son and 7 so far with my second), I acknowledge that nursing is hard to learn, and can be a pain the butt . . . yet, for me (and for most women I know who've chosen to breastfeed) the positives FAR outweigh the negatives. I felt that most of the essays in this collection emphasized the burden of it, with women wondering when they could allow themselves to quit (one author wonders if she must go all the way to FOUR weeks! It took me three weeks just to establish breastfeeding with both sons. I can't even conceive of giving up a mere week after having gotten the hang of it). Many of the authors were bitter and felt judged for not nursing or not nursing long enough. One woman (I have no idea why her essay was even included in this collection as she never even attempted to breastfeed, not that I think she should have) adopted her baby and was vaguely aware that it is possible to nurse when you haven't been pregnant (through months of breast stimulation, drugs, etc., and you may still not make much milk) and thus felt compelled to share her self-judging and the assumed judgement of others for not nursing. What??
I guess I have to assume that it is because these women had such trying, painful, stressful experiences with nursing and had husbands and workplaces that were uninformed that enough information and legislation have come to light that I was well informed and well prepared (and so was my partner) regarding how difficult breastfeeding would be and therefore have had a very positive experience. Nonetheless, I'd love to read a collection of essays about breastfeeding that really celebrate it while not covering up the difficulties--and I wouldn't want to read about women who just "don't want to" or never even tried, because while those experiences are valid, they don't belong in a book about breastfeeding.

I am not sure exactly what the goal was of the editors of this book. Unbuttoned talks a lot about the pains of breastfeeding, but was real light on the pleasures. Essentially, almost every essay boiled down to this: breastfeeding is OK, but don't do it for too long and if you don't want to, who cares, because it doesn't make much of a difference anyway. Huh? The only positive essays were the ones on weaning, towards the end of the book. Those made me laugh and made me a bit misty-eyed, because I know the day is coming soon when my son will wean himself. Besides that, this book only represented one very particular demographic: rich, white, educated women with flexible jobs and husbands who are also high earners. So if they can't make breastfeeding work, what hope is there for anyone else? I really wanted to love this book, and although there were parts that made me smile, overall it was not for anyone looking for a collection of positive essays on the breastfeeding experience.

I should have known that the ratings on this book would run the whole gamut, given how charged this issue it. I do agree that reading this book before attempting to breastfeed your own baby will give you quite a lot to worry about. However, having read it after nursing one baby and currently nursing another, I heard myself in some of the essays and was appalled by others. In that sense, the book achieves a nice neutrality - it gives various women a chance to express their own experiences without touting any particular point of view.
One thing I do know - reading this book cements my own deep commitment not to give a crap about what other women do to nourish their children. What I do is my business, what others do is their own. Not only do I not care what others do, I actually don't judge, either, which is usually difficult for me. The reason I'm able to not judge is that I truly don't believe the hype on either side. Breastmilk is great, formula is just fine. I enjoy nursing, but if I hadn't after having tried it for a few weeks, I'd have quit, too. Although my intuition tells me that breastfeeding is natural and good for a baby, I am loath to believe the hype about increased IQ, etc., given that the science is so shaky. (I am also secretly afraid that the current move to exclusively breastfeed has an unintended anti-feminist result, just like our mothers feared. Such are the choices women must make.)
Rock on, moms, and do what you feel is right! You won't see me sneering at you as you prepare formula at the coffee shop...

I learned so much from these amazing stories. Some of them were too funny and others were much too sad but none of them were boring at all.

These essays are really underwhelming. The longer I breastfeed my own baby, the more annoyed I get that this book pretends to offer an honest portrayal of breastfeeding.
I love personal essays, but these are badly written, whiny, self-important, boring, and worst of all - quite negative about breastfeeding! Pro-breastfeeding advocates (like the La Leche League) are referred to as the "breastfeeding gestapo" and "breastfeeding nazis," and the writers are disparaging about longer-term breastfeeding, and really, breastfeeding in general. Now, it's fine to include some more ambivalent perspectives (speaking as a mom who loves breastfeeding overall, we all have ambivalent moments), but if that were the goal, it would be better to include a balance of different perspectives. Instead, the perspectives offered by these writers is overwhelmingly negative and disparaging of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is not always hunky-dory-wonderful, I agree. But it is also not always cracked-bleeding-nipples! I seek refreshing honesty in personal essays, not defensive bitterness, and the latter is what these essays have to offer.
Also, did I mention the essays are just bad? It's not even well-written anti-breastfeeding propaganda.
The only essays that portray breastfeeding in a positive light are the ones that deal with weaning. Try to figure that out.
UGH. If you are pregnant and reading this book with hopes to breastfeed your baby, just know that this book offers only one side of the story. Don't let it discourage you.

Another book left in the pumping room at work by some other mom. Essays by 25 different moms about varying breastfeeding experiences -- those who nursed until the baby self-weaned at 4 years old to those who just did not want to breastfeed ever to those who couldn't. And everything in between.
Well-written (the essayists are all writers), but I would not recommend it to someone who had not breastfed before. Rather I'd suggest it to those who have already done the breastfeeding thing and can relate as kind of a look into other moms' experiences. It really just reminds me that everyone has such radically different experiences and we cannot make assumptions about what other people are doing or why.

Mixed feelings on this one. For a book about nursing, there are a lot of essays about why women didn't want to nurse, couldn't nurse, felt pressured and guilty about nursing or not-nursing. Even the essays where the authors stated how easy and enjoyable they found nursing would end abruptly with "and then a random roadblock appeared and I quit nursing at 6 months. Or 4 months. Or 3 months."
Then again, I know the stats: many mothers don't nurse at all, most quit around that 3-6 month mark. My experience (nursing for 12 months now and counting) is not usual. So really this is a collection of common nursing experiences, I suppose, and it's not the book's fault that my experience has been different. This collection is also 10 years old now - I'm sure the cultural environment around nursing has changed since then.
My complaints could also be rooted in the fact that this is a rather homogeneous collection of Rich White Lady Stories. And not, for the most part, by particularly literary writers. Lots of magazine writers and editors, and these read like women's magazine articles - quick and easy and lacking distinction. With exceptions. I found this book googling "Catherine Newman weaning" and I was not disappointed.

Read this to get a feel for some political debating that is going on. We need better health care, better mental health care, better fetal/maternal support, better family support, better paternal leave from work. No way can anyone realistically expect a new mother to return to work in 6 weeks after having a baby, that is not possible after the body trauma of birth - no matter which feeding methods are used.
This book should be required reading for every government official, every elected politician, every person who sits on a board that makes policy and structure. This belongs in the hands of every person in HR and corporate big wigs and team leaderships. This belongs in dr's offices, therapists offices and on the shelves next to 'what to expect when you are expecting' and 'the first years' books.
The book is about women yes, but its about families, husbands, partners, siblings.

Really thorough overview of the trials and tribulations of breastfeeding. I do wish there had been more positive stories about the experience, but I appreciate the bare descriptions of the reality of the situation. The section on weaning was especially excellent. Grateful that this anthology exists.

This is a fabulous book on the reality of breastfeeding - the ups and downs and the very real challenges of breastfeeding…or not breastfeeding. For anyone that has even attempted to breastfeed and might have had to stop on day one, week one, year one or year five, there's something to relate to. It's a collection of essays of women who breastfed (and one who chose not to even start) as to their thoughts behind breastfeeding.
As I nurse my second kidlet, a lot of these resonated with me - or, if they did not speak to my life, they spoke to many anecdotes that i've heard from other mothers. It was a refreshing read - something much greater and deeper than the rote 'breast is best' that is parroted left and right.
I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is expecting their first child - i think this book is much more useful/relatable to mothers who have been through it and have wondered, 'am i the only one who feels this way about breastfeeding?'.

appreciated it. timely. granted, why is this all such a secret that is not told in advance of experiencing it for oneself?
upon further thought, lacked variety and didn't address things like nipple shields ....
excerpts of note;
We wouldn't becomes mere partners in child care, as so many of our friends had done.
(NOW president Wilma Scott Heide 1974 national conference speech)
There is something that makes us uniquely able to rear children, and it can make a difference, a humongous difference, during arguably the most productive decades of a woman's working life.
My once -full life has narrowed in focus, and is now centered on breastfeeding... I have established a nursing base camp, and i have hunkered down.
Did i think i heard a yes because they didn't tell me no?
I still wonder who was weaning whom.

Eh. This books didn't excite me. I have nursed two kids, and I couldn't find much to relate to in the essays. I think it would have been better if stories weren't written by professionals. Too many mentions of editors, and the essays somehow just sounded too...hmmm...targeted? I don't know. I would have appreciated some wider scope. Lack of sleep, voracious hunger, Netflix-addicted older children, "hands-off" signs for partners...feeding a baby is a family affair, and I would have liked more of something I can't articulate. It all came across as all or nothing, no in-between. Some I skipped over, because I found them annoying. The one I liked the best can be found in Bossypants by Tina Fey.

A quick read while my nursing 21 month old took her nap. I skimmed through some stories and read some others all of the way through. It's nice they are divided up into sections so that you can pick and choose. It shows how much of a difference having LLL or a good support system and well trained medical staff can contribute to nursing or not. Needless to say, even though I am still nursing, I still have a big chip on my shoulder from the unaccomadating nurses in the NICU when she was first born. There should be more training to medical staff with nursing and much more consideration of nursing mothers with their baby in the NICU. If she were my first child and I didn't have LLL to support me, I might have given up and just bottle fed her!

As a new mother who struggled with breastfeeding, I enjoyed all of the different perspectives of other mothers out there. The essays ranged from mothers who had breastfed until their children where talking to those who had no interest whatsoever. I was surprised by the emotion and feelings wrapped up in many of the experiences, even by an adoptive parent.
I would recommend this to a new mother. Although I have a pregnant friend who read it and said that it was overwhelming. It maybe helpful to a mom who has established a feeding pattern with their new babies, whatever that may mean to them.

This was a horrible book especially if you are trying to prepare for breastfeeding. If you were looking for support in not breastfeeding this book might be right for you. It was negative and justified women's excuses for not breastfeeding their child. In one story the mom admits that she was being selfish and that she knew breastfeeding was what is best for her child but that she "just didn't want to" and that she "thought is was gross". She wasn't even willing to pump. I personally was looking for stories from women who found it difficult but over came the difficulties...who had qualms but over came them...
August 28, 2009
i too, felt this book was mostly negative. i am now breastfeeding my second child (5 months) and breastfed my first until 1 and during the pregnancy with the second. there were only a couple of positive stories, whereas most were about the trials and how it hasn't been that great of an experience for them. boohoo. i am about 3/4 of the way through and am considering not finishing it because it is such a downer. the only reason i even gave it one star is because a lot of the writers are sassy and i like that attitude in a book. i would NOT recommend this book.
November 18, 2009
Couldn't decide how I felt about this book. Certainly didn't feel good when I finished. I harshly judged many of the women in these essays. I think the point was to simply celebrate the differences amongst us. But I couldn't let go of my righteous belief in "breast is best." It doesn't mean I didn't sympathize with the many challenges these women faced (it's TOUGH!), but ultimately I couldn't let go of my narrow-minded viewpoint. I simply don't get it and I was hoping this read would expand my tunnel vision. No luck. But I don't think that was the book's fault.
May 28, 2009
Ironically, read this while breastfeeding. I think this has a little something for every mom....and the essays are varied enough that you find the ones that you agree with and the ones that you don't quite understand. It's a nice collection of different thoughts, opinions, and real life stories of women and breastfeeding. Probably better to read if you've experienced or are currently breastfeeding.
February 16, 2010
I really enjoyed picking this book up while nursing. I didn't relate to all of the essays (including choosing to nurse while working full time, dating while nursing or weaning a 4-year old!), but I loved reading other mother's expressions of tender thoughts that I have had about breastfeeding over the years. More than anything, it was a satisfying glimpse into a world that is still largely taboo.
October 24, 2009
I LOVED this book! I want my own copy..
I love reading other women's accounts of their breastfeeding stories.. it's so comforting and so funny to be able to relate..
I always want to share my breastfeeding stories to people but seriously how can they relate unless they actually did it themselves?
And honestly this has inspired me to write some of my own experiences..

Beautiful, heartbreaking, and honest, the collection of essays in Unbuttoned were exactly the kind of reading I needed. Part confessional, rant, reminiscing, and nostalgia on the trials and tribulations of life as a new mom, breastfeeding or not.
I read this in less than 24 hrs. Anyone with an infant knows this is the ultimate rave review.

This book was not what I was expecting. I was kind of offended by some of the essays, actually, especially the one taht refers to La Leche League as the "nursing Gestapo." To me it seemed that most of the essays dealt with the negative aspects of nursing, blowing them out of proportion and minimizing the positives. Not a terrible read, but not one I'd really recommend.
August 9, 2010
Great short stories about the joys and challenges of breastfeeding. Provided a well-rounded look at the idea of "breast is best" from the perspective of predominantly married and exclusively straight women, almost all of whom are some kind of professional writer. Would have liked greater diversity because cultural / racial / sexuality differences do make a difference in the whole debate.
August 8, 2011
As a mother struggling to be successful with breastfeeding, I found the essays in this book to be an encouraging support. Reading them gave me hope & reminded me I'm not alone. Knowing that other women have had the same frustrations & problems has helped me feel more confident about persevering.

This was a mixed bag- like most collections. Some wonderful, some just ok. I wish there had been a few more positive essays. Breastfeeding is hard but it can be wonderful too. My other issue is that there is notice diversity in the authors- mostly wealthy, part-time working mothers.
There were a few real golden nuggets in there too that made it worth the read. Especially with babe in arms.

It made me a little anxious. I had no idea there were so many competitive/judgmental moms out there ready to kill you if you didn't breastfeed - or breastfeed long enough - or breastfeed exclusively. Ignorance was bliss, I guess.
