Ina May Gaskin - Útmutató szoptatáshoz

This time, Ina May Gaskin, the best-selling author of A Guide to Childbirth, has written an engagingly interesting book about breastfeeding. Once again, the author approaches the topic with a broad and rich body of knowledge, and while effectively conveying breastfeeding knowledge and techniques, he also tries to develop an approach that encourages and strengthens natural mothering skills, increases the self-confidence of new mothers who choose to breastfeed, and strengthens them in their decision.
Because Gaskin convincingly proves to the readers that breastfeeding is not simply a good "idea", but due to its long-term and short-term effects, it is the only reasonable way to feed a child. The author places equal emphasis on the physiology and psychology of breastfeeding, and reveals the outstanding role breastfeeding plays in the mother-child relationship and early bonding. We can learn about the irreplaceable benefits of breastfeeding from premature babies to children over one year old.
At the same time, the world-renowned midwife presents the factors that go beyond breastfeeding, but also significantly influence it: upbringing, cultural differences, or birth/delivery experiences, and also examines breastfeeding as a social phenomenon: from the "baby-friendly" Scandinavian countries to the phobia-ridden United States to the States.
The direct tone based on everyday experiences lived by everyone, the readable style supported by scientific facts, and the touching and exciting stories told by breastfeeding mothers make Gaskin's work a unique manual that is indispensable for future parents.
