Publisher's Synopsis
Breastfeeding has numerous benefits for both mother and child–including strong evidence that breastfed children have fewer illnesses and higher intelligence. However, many nursing mothers often struggle with the challenges associated with breastfeeding successfully. While 74% of American women try breastfeeding only 11% are still breastfeeding at 6 months due to the pain and difficulty associated with it. Breastfeeding: The Complete Illustrated Guide gives mothers the practical instruction they need to ensure a healthy, positive experience for themselves and their child. Over 100 original step-by-step photographs set this book apart from the competition as well as concise and authoritative instruction from veteran doula, author, and About.com expert, Robin Weiss.
