The Breast Is Yet to Come

The laugh-out-loud, spot-on comic collection that every nursing mom (and supportive dad!) needs—the perfect funny new mom gift!

“Jan and Howard Bennett have created a treasure-trove of funny situations about breastfeeding that every parent will recognize. You’ll love this book whether your baby is still nursing or is out of diapers and making his or her way in the world.”—Alyssa Milano

With over 100 witty cartoons, The Breast Is Yet to Come transforms the chaos of breastfeeding into comedy gold. From the mechanics of nursing to pop culture parodies, it’s a refreshing, relatable take on the ups and downs of feeding a baby.

Featuring diverse illustrations, The Breast Is Yet to Come puts a playful spin on everything from Shakespeare to Picasso, Newton to da Vinci. Lady Macbeth scrubs at stubborn breastmilk stains (“Out, damn’d spot!”), the Vitruvian Woman nurses her baby in a hilarious twist on da Vinci’s classic, and Goldilocks eavesdrops as three baby bears debate nipples that are too soft, too hard, and just right.

Breastfeeding is incredible—but it’s also messy, exhausting, and sometimes downright absurd. A good laugh is the best remedy for sleep deprivation, and The Breast Is Yet to Come delivers. Perfect for new parents, baby shower gifts, and anyone who’s been there, this book is a reminder that no one’s alone in the wild ride of parenthood.
