The Breastfeeding Care Guide is designed to help breastfeeding mothers succeed as they provide the best possible nourishment for their new baby. Breastfeeding is a learning process, for mother and baby. This guide encourages mothers to relax and enjoy the experience as mother and baby learn about it together. Here’s some of what she’ll learn:
Breastfeeding technique
- The basics of the very first feeding focus on positioning and latching on.
- Mothers also learn about what they may experience at home--from what to expect in baby’s diapers to how to use a breast pump.
- The section on breast care offers suggestions on preventing tenderness and outlines possible causes of soreness so mom and baby can refine their technique.
Special helps
- Advice on expressing and storing breast milk includes suggestions for working mothers and NICU babies.
- A chapter on mother’s health reminds her what she should do to take care of herself so she will have the energy and patience she needs.
This guide is the third of a three-part series entitled New Mother’s Care Guide Set (ISBN# 1585510157). The handbooks are easy-to-read, written in a friendly, informational tone. Easy-to-reference with tabs, frequent subheads for scanning, illustrations. And easy-to-carry since the handy 8½ x 5½ size fits in purse or diaper bag.
The publisher also offers customized versions of these books to health providers who order in large quantities.
