About the Books
Breastfeeding has major benefits for both you and your baby— it provides the best nutrition (according to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization), it saves money (on sick-baby doctor visits and formula and bottles), and it creates a unique bond between you and your child. Breastfeeding is not always easy, but with proper guidance and encouragement, you can overcome almost any challenge you may encounter and continue to breastfeed for as long as you choose. These books, written by experts with decades of combined experience, provide a wealth of information to support you through every stage of the nursing process.
