For busy new moms (and their helpers and partners), this is a short, concise, easy-to-use-on-the-fly version of the definitive book on breastfeeding-with a planner added to help keep track of everything. Breastfeeding is natural, but it is not always instinctive for either mothers or babies. Kathleen Huggins’s The Nursing Mothers Companion has been a best-selling book on breastfeeding for more than 7 editions over 30 years, with more than 1.1 million copies sold. It is respected and recommended by professionals, including The International Lactation Consultant Association, Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, and The American Academy of Pediatrics, and it is well loved by new parents for its encouraging and accessible style. Now, in this shorter quick-reference version, time-pressed parents can get the answers they need in a flash,without sacrificing the breadth and accuracy of the original book. Plus, this edition adds a planner component, for scheduling nursing sessions, pump rentals and pumping sessions, weight and wellness checks, anticipated dates for weaning, and more. Kathleen Huggins equips breastfeeding mothers with all the information they need to overcome potential difficulties and nurse their babies successfully. This up-to-date book covers:
•Expressing, storing, and feeding breast milk • How to cope with breastfeeding obstacles and challenges • Managing pumping and nursing when you return to work • New-mom care for the postpartum period • Introducing solid foods • How to choose a breast pump • Deciding when to wean – and how to do it
