Originally written in Norwegian, Understanding Breastfeeding has been so popular that WABA (World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action) asked the authors to translate it into English. Not only did the authors agree, they are donating all profits from the English version to WABA.
Understanding Breastfeeding includes a variety of issues new mothers and fathers need to know. Part 1 covers preparing for breastfeeding, why feed at the breast, breastmilk, and what a mother should eat. Part 2 covers breastfeeding in practice – getting to know each other, managing breastfeeding at home, special situations, slow starts, ill mother, sore nipples, practical management, parent expectations, and infant growth and development. Part 3 covers the history of breastfeeding, formula’s impact, and what can be done to protect and promote breastfeeding.
