The Classic Guide

The Complete Book of Breastfeeding is a recognized classic in its field. Now it's been completely revised and updated in a new fourth edition--non-doctrinaire, informative, and friendly, it is the most accessible and authoritative book, as much required reading for expecting and new mothers as a pregnancy guide and baby name book.

All healthy mothers should consider breastfeeding for the first year of a baby's life, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, and this is the book that will help women give their babies the healthiest start possible. Written by Sally Wendkos Olds and a new co-author, Laura Marks, M.D., The Complete Book of Breastfeeding, Fourth Edition offers a comprehensive introduction to breastfeeding--how to get ready before the baby arrives; how to involve fathers and siblings; and the best diet and foods for mom. There are sections on dealing with problems at the hospital; extensive information on exclusive pumping (EPing); the best systems for giving supplementary bottles to a breastfed baby; the safest sleep scenarios for babies; breastfeeding in public, including laws affecting breastfeeding mothers. New data about preterm infants is presented, and special situations--multiples, breast cancer, overweight and large-breasted women, breast surgery, tattoos and piercings--are also discussed in detail. An expanded chapter on weaning features sections on breastfeeding past infancy. Also new is an appendix of online resources.

Seven Natural Laws for Nursing Mothers

Breastfeeding may be natural, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Due to a combination of cultural, social, and economic factors, only 74 percent of women breastfeed at the time of hospital discharge, and after six months, that number dwindles to 32 percent. Meanwhile, research proving the health benefits of breastfeeding continues to grow exponentially, and one study even shows that exclusive breastfeeding leads to better and longer sleep at night for parents. The result is a population of new mothers who want to breastfeed but don't know how. Breastfeeding Made Simple teaches mothers and mothers-to-be seven natural laws for successful breastfeeding. This information is distilled from various fields and up-to-date research and is presented in a practical, straightforward way. This new edition has been updated with the latest research on breastfeeding and includes advice for correcting common problems. Chapters offer guidance for maintaining proper attachment, reducing the pain of nursing, understanding normal breastfeeding patterns, maintaining adequate milk production, weaning, and more. Special situations, such as mothers with breast reductions and infants with special needs, are also addressed by this comprehensive handbook. Also, the book now includes a useful index busy moms can use to find solutions quickly and easily.

20 Lessons about Motherhood and Life after My Son's down Syndrome Diagnosis

Have you ever felt alone in motherhood? Mary spent her first pregnancy eager to meet her new baby boy. When an unexpected Down syndrome diagnosis for her son turned Mary's life upside down, she felt isolated in her shock and grief. She knew no one with Down syndrome, had no one to talk to, and nowhere to turn. The discovery of a social media account that embraced and honored Down syndrome was the impetus for Mary to move from depression towards action. She learned that Down syndrome is nothing to fear, and that her son has a bright future ahead of him. Through her story, you'll see how Mary found community, became an advocate, and founded a worldwide Down syndrome awareness blog, Limitlessnicholas.com. Mary writes to bring the same kind of power and community to mothers in every type of situation. In A Truly Limitless Life, Mary recounts those first few months in a way that is raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically honest. Her 20 lessons are brought to us via her personal stories, struggles, and victories in early motherhood. Mothers of children with a Down syndrome diagnosis and beyond can appreciate and relate to this uplifting journey. Nicholas has grown into a thriving young boy who serves as his family's living reminder that just about anything is possible as long as we have the courage to rewrite our own stories.
