| Near Mama's Heart A children's book about breastfeeding By Colleen Newman |
“What a delightful book. The photos of mothers breastfeeding their children are refreshing to see and joy-filled. I’d
recommend this lovely book to all nursing mamas.”
-Elizabeth Pantley, Author of Gentle Baby Care and The No-Cry Sleep Solution
"As the saying goes 'breast is best!' That is why babies Near Mama’s Heart are the happiest!"
-Harvey Karp, M.D., author of the book/DVD The Happiest Baby on the Block
"What a joyful celebration of breastfeeding as natural, beautiful, ideal! Sinking into the gorgeous photos and lively words
of this book, it is hard to believe that bottlefeeding could ever have been the norm. I particularly appreciate how siblings
and daddies are integrated so lovingly into this book. Guaranteed to make a child giggle with delight and a parent tear up
with pride and baby love."
-Hilary Flower, author of
Adventures in Tandem Nursing: Breastfeeding During Pregnancy and Beyond
"Rejoice! Mothers and fathers of breastfeeding babies and toddlers, rejoice! Near Mama's Heart offers photo after photo
of sweet nursing moments, with a gentle, affirming, breastfeeding-friendly narrative.
Children's librarians, rejoice! Finally, here is a book that breastfeeding families will be excited to find on your shelves. In
this simple, loving photo-essay, there are no bottles, no pacifiers, no highchairs, no playpens... Just families bonding in
the most intimate way possible. This is a must-have for every neighborhood library.
Pediatricians, obstetricians, midwives, dentists and the myriad other healthcare professionals with waiting rooms for
mothers and children -- rejoice! Now you can offer a book that breastfeeding families will look forward to reading in your
waiting room.
And last but not least, children -- rejoice! This book is especially for you! Whether it reminds you of your own family or
teaches you something about other children and their families, every page is sure to bring a smile to your face."
-Shari Maser, for Midwest Book Review and author of Blessingways: A Guide to
Mother-Centered Baby Showers -- Celebrating Pregnancy, Birth, and Motherhood
"This book for young children depicts an assortment of beautiful breastfeeding photos and delightful text. Near Mama’s
Heart is where all children deserve to be!"

Since the release of Near Mama's Heart in May, many exciting things have happened. It has received endorsements from well
known authors and parenting and/or breastfeeding experts such as Elizabeth Pantley, Amy Spangler, and Harvey Karp, M.D.
to name a few. The Maryland State Department of Health purchased 2200 copies to distribute to their WIC offices, The
Australian Breastfeeding Association purchased copies to stock in their online store and in their retail stores across Australia
and many other attachment parenting type online stores, too many to mention, are stocking it in their stores as well. And there
is and lots, lots more!
But, what I am currently most excited about is that in just a few weeks Near Mama’s Heart will now be available in Spanish.
It is called Cerca del Corazón de Mamá and the ISBN # is 1-4251-0551-3. It will be available on my website and at Amazon.
com so keep your eye out for it and when it becomes available, buy a copy to donate to your local library so it can keep the
English version (that you have already donated) company. What you haven’t done that yet? Be a breastfeeding advocate and
donate a copy to your local library so that children’s books are not just showing babies drinking from bottles! Because babies
breastfeed! Well, what are you waiting for? Cerca del Corazón de Mamá
