Book Description
For more than a decade, BESTFEEDING has been recognized by midwives,
doctors, and nursing mothers as the definitive word on breastfeeding. The culmination
of 60-plus years of hands-on experience from three dedicated and internationally
respected authors, this newly updated classic blends academic knowledge, clinical
expertise, and practical skills to educate first-time and experienced mothers
alike. Mothers will find precisely the information they need to help their babies
grow and thrive-physically and emotionally-as a result of breastfeeding. The
book answers all questions a new mother may have, and it is fully illustrated
with dozens of helpful photos and drawings that demonstrate all the dos and don'ts
of breastfeeding. In addition to the basics, mothers will find tried-and-true
solutions to both common and more unusual problems, as well as remedies for babies
with special needs. With its sensitive and informed advice, BESTFEEDING is a
supportive reminder of what women have always known: that breastfeeding is, quite
simply, the best way to nourish a baby.
