A modern guide to breastfeeding your baby

This easy-to-follow illustrated book takes you through the joy and challenges of breastfeeding, from preparing while pregnant to starting to feed your baby.

With empathetic and caring language, the author – a breastfeeding counsellor – deals with such key issues as feeding frequency, latching, mastitis, and cracked nipples.

Uniquely, Practical Breastfeeding represents women and birthing people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, abilities, and gender identities.

It puts a particular focus on the emotional well-being and mental health of mothers, topics often overlooked by other breastfeeding books. With endorsements from breastfeeding consultants, Practical Breastfeeding is the only book you need if you are about to start breastfeeding or if have encountered problems while breastfeeding.
