There are also a myriad of benefits for the mother, which include everything from the special bonding that takes place to reduced rates of breast and ovarian cancer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Despite a mother's best intentions, breastfeeding can prove to be challenging for both new and experienced mothers. And because many hospitals have reduced or eliminated programs on lactation, many mothers are often left relying on the advice of friends, family or a much too busy obstetrician or pediatrician. In a friendly, informative and easy-to-read manner, \u003cb\u003eBetter Breastfeeding\u003c\/b\u003e addresses the concerns, problems and issues breastfeeding mothers face and answers the most commonly asked questions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Some of the issues that are addressed include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eKnowing if the baby is getting enough milk\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlugged ducts and breast infection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNursing strike, thrush, and twins or multiples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChallenges of latching\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSore nipples and engorgement\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGoing back to work.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e The authors also provide 125 recipes for the breastfeeding mother that serve her unique needs and, ultimately, those of her baby. There is also some research which indicates that a child's taste preferences are influenced by what a mother eats during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Since the flavor of breast milk changes according to the mother's diet, it influences the types of foods the baby is willing to accept and enjoy during weaning to solid foods. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daina Kalnins,Debbie Stone,Joyce Touw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0778801640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780778801641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Rose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.05h x 7.02w x 0.76d","brand":"Daina Kalnins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447776850175,"sku":"9780778801641","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88933aca-42f2-4db2-aac0-fc2bd95bbf20.jpg?v=1777234738","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/better-breastfeeding-daina-kalnins-9780778801641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
