Have popular magazines or books on hand, especially on topics of motherhood, parenting and nursing. Books on nursing are great resources that let moms learn more about breastfeeding and working or read up on breastfeeding topics. Here are Healthy Horizons’s recommendations for reading material in your mother’s room!
