Amy Spangler MN, RN, IBLC, is the author of numerous publications including BREASTFEEDING, A Parent’s Guide, BREASTFEEDING, Keep It Simple, BREASTFEEDING, Your guide to a healthy, happy baby, and Evidence-Based Guidelines for Breastfeeding Management during the First Fourteen Days.

I think the world of Amy. She has done so much to support and promote breastfeeding. She is a mom, nurse, lactation consultant and educator and has worked with mothers, babies, and families for over 30 years.

While working as a Breastfeeding Counselor for WIC in Maryland I was constantly referring to “BREASTFEEDING, A Parent’s Guide”. Her books are easy to read and understand and were very helpful as I tried to help pregnant and new mommies learn the ropes.

To purchase these books or learn more about Amy’s products visit her website at AmysBabies.com 

I had the honor of Amy Spangler’s endorsement of Near Mama’s Heart, my children’s book about breastfeeding. She wrote, “The beautiful collection of photographs that appear in “Near Mama’s Heart” will truly capture the heart of every reader.” I am grateful the kind words she had for one of my “babies”.

Amy recently “gave birth” to a new addition of her own. She has launched a new website/blog called Babygooroo.com. The “Gooroos” are a Who’s Who of the baby health industry who provide unique and up-to-the-minute content about all things breastfeeding and parenting.

She talks about baby gooroo in the latest issue of her newsletter, Feeding Times, she writes that the website “is a state-of-the-art digital publishing site (blog). It serves as an online information center as well as a meeting place for parents, educators, health professionals, and others. It provides educational information, historical facts, real-life experiences, humorous anecdotes, news updates, political developments, and more! Our hope is that baby gooroo will set the standard for digital publishing sites as contributors share their expertise and enthusiasm with the online community.”
