Breastfeeding Your Baby (Factfiles) - Softcover

This handbook offers a balanced assessment of the benefits of breastfeeding, both for the baby and the mother. The author gives an explanation of what happens to the body when breastfeeding and what to expect when breastfeeding - from the very first feed to beyond the first year. Problems that women may face when breastfeeding are described and advice is given on what a mother can do to solve these problems and where to go for help if she cannot. The author also advises on coping in special situations, such as breastfeeding twins and babies with special needs, breastfeeding when you return to work and breastfeeding if you are on medication.
