The Milk Memos/Cate Colburn-Smith & Andrea Serrette/370 pages

The milk memos : how real moms learned to mix business with babies- and how you can, too.
I thought that this book was WONDERFUL and I definitely recommend it to any mother who is working and pumping/breastfeeding.  It followed several IBM employees who shared a lactation room and wrote to each other in notebooks explaining their hardships and triumphs while pumping and offering advice to the other "milk mamas."  The notes from their notebooks were interspersed with helpful information about your first days back after maternity leave, continuing pumping despite difficulties, emotional issues of returning to work, and many other helpful facts.  It is amazing the trials that working mothers must go through to provide the very best food for their babies.  I found it very encouraging in my current situation as a working nursing mother.
