Breastfeeding made simple - Nancy Mohrbacher

Breastfeeding may be natural, but that
doesn't mean it's easy. Due to a combination of cultural, social, and
economic factors, only 74 percent of women breastfeed at the time of
hospital discharge, and after six months, that number dwindles to 32
percent. Meanwhile, research proving the health benefits of
breastfeeding continues to grow exponentially, and one study even shows
that exclusive breastfeeding leads to better and longer sleep at night
for parents. The result is a population of new mothers who want to
breastfeed but don't know how.


Breastfeeding Made Simple
teaches mothers and mothers-to-be seven natural laws for successful
breastfeeding. This information is distilled from various fields and
up-to-date research and is presented in a practical, straightforward
way. This new edition has been updated with the latest research on
breastfeeding and includes advice for correcting common problems.
Chapters offer guidance for maintaining proper attachment, reducing the
pain of nursing, understanding normal breastfeeding patterns,
maintaining adequate milk production, weaning, and more. Special
situations, such as mothers with breast reductions and infants with
special needs, are also addressed by this comprehensive handbook. Also,
the book now includes a useful index busy moms can use to find solutions
quickly and easily.
