Product Description

Book Description

Breastfeeding is the most natural and healthy way to nurture a baby. How can you, as a new mother, get breastfeeding established the right way? How can your baby's father be supportive of breastfeeding? And what can you do when things don't go as well as planned? You'll find the answers you're looking for in DR. JACK NEWMAN'S GUIDE TO BREASTFEEDING. Every year in Canada, thousands of women breastfeed their newborns. If difficulties arise, or if they're simply looking for assurance that all is going well, many of these women turn to pediatrician and lactation specialist Jack Newman. Using his vast experience - he has been a resource to more than 15,000 women over the years - he now brings the most important facts about breastfeeding to you.

Dr. Newman shares information to help: In the first days and weeks after your baby is born • achieving a good latch, the key to trouble-free breastfeeding • ensuring that your baby gets the milk you have (most women have more than enough) • avoiding sore nipples and sore breasts - and solving the problems that cause pain • coping with the jaundiced or colicky baby

As your baby grows • introducing solid foods • continuing to breastfeed when you return to work outside the home • breastfeeding into the toddler years

In special situations • knowing how medication - for either you or your baby - affects breastfeeding • breastfeeding the adopted baby - yes, really! • giving the best to premature babies and babies with special needs - breastmilk • breastfeeding after breast augmentation or reduction

Dr. Jack Newman gives more than medical advice, he gives the support and encouragement that women need to enjoy the wonderful experience that breastfeeding should be. If this is your first baby or your fourth; if you're pregnant, breastfeeding your newborn or wondering about weaning your toddler; if you're eighteen years old or forty-five, this book is for you. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible breastfeeding resource!, Nov 8 2002
By Connie Banack (Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
The definitive guide to breastfeeding that I have looked for and finally found - how incredible for it to also be Canadian! Everything is covered in this book, even blebs which I needed information on personally and could not find in the many other breastfeeding books I own (I am a childbirth educator and doula so I own several). Not only did it have the information I needed, it even had a picture of a bleb and gave me the healing options I needed for this painful condition! This is the first book I recommend to all of my clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, Jun 15 2005
By Myriam (Montreal, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This book was an amazing resource that helped me enormously with breastfeeding. If it wasn't for Dr. Newman's book, I wouldn't have lasted the first weeks of breastfeeding. Through comprehensive teachings and examples, it teaches you how to breastfeed easily and without pain, while giving you a glimpse of the marketing that formula companies employ to lure women away from nursing.

It is the one book that is essential for a breastfeeding mother (or mother to be).
