Everything a Mom Needs to Know for a Happy Nursing Experience
For the new mom and her baby, breastfeeding provides countless physical and emotional benefits. Breast milk provides proper nourishment, helps strengthen a baby’s immune system, and deepens the mother-child bond. However, breastfeeding doesn’t always happen as naturally as one might expect. As a Neonatal Practitioner and Board Certified Lactation Consultant (and mother of two), Stacey H. Rubin knows the difficulties new moms can experience. Now, in The ABCs of Breastfeeding, she offers a practical and reader-friendly guide that will help every new mother feel comfortable and confident about feeding her baby. From pregnancy to weaning, this helpful book will show nursing mothers how to:
- find a doctor who is breastfeeding-friendly
- hold their baby comfortably after birth
- recognize the signs that a baby wants to be fed
- take necessary steps that will prevent breastfeeding difficulties
- build a healthy milk supply
- manage the right diet
- continue breastfeeding immediately after returning to work • know when to stop breastfeeding
Illustrated with real-life stories from the author’s own private practice of women who have overcome common and not-so-common breastfeeding difficulties, The ABCs of Breastfeeding will help expectant and new mothers turn their nursing experiences into a joyful one—for themselves and their new babies.
By Stacey H. Rubin, M.N., APRN, IBCLC

I’m planning on breastfeeding, I haven’t read this book yet, but it does sound very helpful

I could really use this book. I tried breast feeding my first child and it lasted about 1 month. I felt really guilty about not being able to give her the nutrition she much deserved. I feel this book will help me with my next baby. My due date is 8/19/08 and could really use the help.
Thanks,

This is going to be my second child. I could not breas feed but pumped my breast milk with my last child as she was a premmie and was in a incubator. I have only 2 months to go and this pregnancy is going great so I am pretty sure I will be able to breast feed my baby this time. I really could use this book to help give me the support to keep going. It will give me some ideas to keep going when things may get rough (which I hope it won’t). The book will help me with some good healthy ideas so I will have the best breast milk I can feed my child by giving me some ideas of different positions to make best feeding comfortable for me and my child. Which will be real important when I first get home and will be tired from the night feedings and lack of sleep plus trying to get strength back. Also - when the baby gets bigger things may get ackward in one postition and be more comfortable in another. This book willl help me in so many ways. I really think I could use this book. Plus - I have a friend who is pregnant and is due in 7 months. I could hand it down to her to help her with breast feeding (which she plans on doing). It really sounds like a great book!
