- Breastfeeding is essential to the optimal development of every baby. The advantages of breastfeeding are recognized by every professional pediatric and public health group. But today breastfeeding takes place in a continually shifting environment. HIV transmission, custody disputes, formula marketing and workplace convenience are just some of the issues that cloud the decision to breastfeed. Into this troubling situation has stepped award-winning medical writer Dia L. Michels. Finally here is a single source for both parents and healthcare practitioners that reveals the complex and ever-changing breastfeeding environment and provides the most current medical facts. This anthology is an accessible distillation of the latest information in a format accessible to both parents and practitioners. The result is a timely anthology that includes:
- Should It Be Legal to Breastfeed in the Workplace?
- What About Aids?
- How Old Is Too Old for a Child to Breastfeed?
- Can a Woman Breastfeed after Cancer Surgery?
- Is Wet Nursing an Option?
- Can a Mother Drink Alcohol While Breastfeeding?
- Twenty lactation professionals, including leading researchers, pediatricians, nurses, lactation consultants and public health officials answer the hard questions, address the big issues and assure attachment families about the wisdom of feeding baby at the breast.
