The Nursing Mother's Companion by Kathleen Huggins
Breastfeeding may be natural, but it is not entirely instinctive for mothers and babies. This 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic guide to breastfeeding, beloved by a generation of women, has been completely revised and updated to provide even more practical, reassuring advice to expectant and nursing mothers. You will find guidance on every issue related to nursing in it, plus easy-reference "Survival Guides" to help you to quickly identify and resolve problems at different stages. There is also an invaluable appendix on the safety of various drugs during breastfeeding, a feature unique among breastfeeding books. This is the only resource you will need to ensure a positive breastfeeding experience for you and your baby.Kathleen Huggins is a registered nurse and board-certified lactation consultant who is widely recognized as one of the pioneers in establishing the lactation consultant discipline as a core component of maternal-child health care in US hospitals. She established this reputation by creating and running a model breastfeeding clinic at San Luis Obispo General Hospital in California; by lecturing widely to professional peers and hospital administrators; and through her book The Nursing Mother's Companion. She has also co-authored The Nursing Mother's Guide to Weaning and Nursing Mother, Working Mother. She lives in San Luis Obispo, where she currently runs a new mothers' store, Simply MaMa. She continues to lecture widely in the healthcare and lactation-consultant arenas.
