In Breastfeeding Made Easy renowned paediatrician and father-of-three Carlos González, author of Kiss Me! How to raise your children with love and My Child Won't Eat!, brings his warmth and positivity to a subject close to his heart and his clinical practice: breastfeeding. In his characteristic friendly style, and by tackling the real-life questions mothers have about breastfeeding head-on, he explains:
- how breastfeeding works, and why most mothers, with support, can do it if they want to
- how myths and misinformation can derail mothers, and how to avoid this
- how to manage introducing solid foods, weaning from the breast and going back to work
- the proven health benefits of breastfeeding, for babies and their mothers
- how treating illness, in mother and baby, needn't mean the end of breastfeeding
- how breastfeeding can succeed even in difficult circumstances
- the importance of good breastfeeding support, and how to access it
Dr González's extensive experience of supporting breastfeeding mothers and their babies, coupled with his scientific understanding of human lactation and his skill in explaining this to a non-medical audience, are combined here in a book that is an accessible, confidence-inspiring companion for every breastfeeding mother.
