By learning the seven basic principles in this book, mothers can dramatically increase their likelihood of success and make breastfeeding the enjoyable experience it should be. The seven laws taught in this book are easy for mothers to understand and are sure to help them avoid some of the pitfalls that they might otherwise face. <P>The seven principles include: 1. Babies Have the Urge to Self-Attach 2. Use the Power of Skin-to-Skin: A Baby's Natural Habitat 3. Breastfeed Ad Lib 4. Reach for the Comfort Zone 5. Expect Cluster Nursing 6. More Milk Out = More Milk Made 7. Babies Outgrow Breastfeeding <P>The book also addresses how to solve common problems and deal with special situations such as breast reductions and babies with special needs. The authors describe some of the social, psychological, and cultural reasons why breastfeeding is not currently the norm, and what this implies for mothers. In all, this is an easy-to-use breastfeeding resource for new mothers, which includes all the latest research and techniques used by those in the lactation field. 769546 15 9 2005 Breastfeeding Made Simple: Seven Natural Laws for Nursing Mothers total:69|5:5|4:5|3:1|2:0|1:1| 69 296 99 23 5 2 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 20 17:38:59 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 06 20:41:09 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Apr 02 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 19 09:25:41 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 09:54:24 -0700 2009
