ABOUT THE BOOK


Practical solutions to your day-to-day problems


'Nobody ever mentions how incredibly enjoyable breastfeeding can be' and 'No one ever tells you how difficult it is' are twin cries from different mothers. Breastfeeding may be the most natural way of feeding your baby but a lot of mothers find it difficult at first, with the fear of insufficient milk supplies and sore nipples being the most common causes of failure.


Now you can have help permanently on hand in your own home from the experts on the subject. Full practical advice on every aspect of breastfeeding - from positioning your baby correctly and latching-on to understanding the baby's feeding patterns and successful weaning - The National Childbirth Trust Book of Breastfeeding offers solutions to the kind of day-to-day problems and emotional concerns that affect breastfeeding women every day.
