THE COMPLETE BOOK OF BREASTFEEDING
THIRD EDITION
By Marvin S. Eiger M.D. & Sally Wendkos Olds
With over one and a half million trade and mass-market paperback copies in print, The Complete Book of Breastfeeding
is one of the recognized classics in its field. Now it has been
completely revised and updated, and dovetails perfectly with the recent
major policy statement by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which
recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and
continued nursing for at least one year and as long thereafter as mother
and child desire. In addition to incorporating the new AAP guidelines
throughout the book, the Third Edition draws on the very latest research
from prominent scholars and practitioners in the field. It presents new
information on how breastfeeding offers protection against various
diseases for both child and mother; new discussion of the positive
impact of breastfeeding on a child's cognitive development; a greatly
expanded section on available support systems and their importance;
guidelines to help a mother-to-be choose a hospital or birthing center
with breastfeeding-positive policies; and a new section on signs of
baby's adequate milk intake, with charts. Plus new and expanded sections
on nutrition for lactating mothers, the mother's social life, the role
of the father, the nursing working mother, how to express, store, and
offer breast milk, and how to wean your child. This is the warm,
accessible, and authoritative guide for every new mother.
