| "You may have decided to nurse your baby long before you became pregnant. Or perhaps you have just begun to consider breastfeeding. Although nourishing a baby at the breast is natural, many new mothers are surprised to find it is a learned skill--one that usually takes several weeks to master..." (from the first line) In this updated and expanded edition, Huggins works with breastfeeding women and helps them solve their lactation problems.
Annotation:
According to the author, nurse and lactation consultant Kathleen Huggins, breastfeeding takes some time to adapt to, and her classic guide carries nursing mothers through the first year of breastfeeding. Along with an extremely detailed chapter on the first week of breastfeeding a newborn, Huggins discusses such topics as nipple preparation, breast care, breastfeeding adopted babies, premature babies, pumping, choosing not to breastfeed, and much more. Along with advice on what to expect with each stage, meticulous appendices, resources, and illustrations accompany the text.
