How often does my baby really need to feed?
How do I know my baby is getting enough?
Is it normal for my baby to wake at night?
When you're expecting a new baby, suddenly everyone around you becomes
an expert - particularly when it comes to how to feed them. It is easy
to become overwhelmed by conflicting advice, myths and exaggerated
stories.
The Positive Breastfeeding Book cuts through the anecdotes, giving you
clear, no-judgement, non-preachy, evidence-based information to help you
make the right decisions for you and your baby. It will help you
understand how breastfeeding works, and supports you in developing
strategies to make sure that whilst you're looking after the baby,
you're getting taken care of too.
Jam-packed with everything you ever wanted to know about breastfeeding
(and a whole lot you never knew you did!), it will take you through tips
for planning for your baby's arrival, coping with those early months,
and knowing what to do and where to seek help if challenges come up. It
will guide you through feeding in public, going back to work, and even
rediscovering a glass of wine.
You'll find plenty of real stories and guidance throughout from mothers
and experts in supporting breastfeeding. There are handy chapters on
formula and mixed feeding, which cut through advertising spiel and give
you the facts you need to choose and use formula safely.
The Positive Breastfeeding Book doesn't promise to make it easy, nor
will it get up in the middle of the night for you, but it will empower
you with the knowledge and encouragement you need to feed your baby with
confidence.
