Download or read book Little Black Breastfeeding Book written by Jacqueline Lois and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-02 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Little Black Breastfeeding Book is a small reference book that arms women with the emotional tools they will need to nurse their babies through the first year of life. The title is a bit of a play on words as it is small in size and it is black in cover, but it also is directed toward black women as it shares the authors story as a black woman who has breastfed her children and who would like to see more black women do the same. The book in interactive fashion asks a series of questions that a midwife might use to assess readiness to breastfeed. The author intentionally hopes to create a dialogue in small groups of women that will garner support for nursing their babies and delaying weaning. The author sees breastfeeding as an extension of the bond formed between mother and baby during pregnancy. Clearly, prematurity; little or no breastfeeding, early weaning and early and frequent separations between mothers and babies are seen as related plagues on the community and perhaps more importantly as damaging to the health and well-being of the mother. The book also takes a departure from most how-to books targeted for women during pregnancy and uses an interactive format to list what she believes are the most common reasons why mothers fail to nurse their infants and what she believes are the keys to a successful maternal experience of breastfeeding. There will certainly be some controversy as she challenges commonly held beliefs about sleeping with your infant and advice on weaning and the importance of resolving spiritual and emotional issues in parenting. Some may also find the focus on intellectual and emotional issues a welcome departure from many baby books you may receive at your baby shower. The book lists the more common reasons black women dont breastfeed their infants as well as listing what she believes will allow women to succeed at nursing. In a clever way she invites the reader to look inward and to answer those same questions for herself.

Download or read book Cribsheet written by Emily Oster and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Expecting Better and The Family Firm, an economist's guide to the early years of parenting. “Both refreshing and useful. With so many parenting theories driving us all a bit batty, this is the type of book that we need to help calm things down.” —LA Times “The book is jampacked with information, but it’s also a delightful read because Oster is such a good writer.” —NPR With Expecting Better, award-winning economist Emily Oster spotted a need in the pregnancy market for advice that gave women the information they needed to make the best decision for their own pregnancies. By digging into the data, Oster found that much of the conventional pregnancy wisdom was wrong. In Cribsheet, she now tackles an even greater challenge: decision-making in the early years of parenting. As any new parent knows, there is an abundance of often-conflicting advice hurled at you from doctors, family, friends, and strangers on the internet. From the earliest days, parents get the message that they must make certain choices around feeding, sleep, and schedule or all will be lost. There's a rule—or three—for everything. But the benefits of these choices can be overstated, and the trade-offs can be profound. How do you make your own best decision? Armed with the data, Oster finds that the conventional wisdom doesn't always hold up. She debunks myths around breastfeeding (not a panacea), sleep training (not so bad!), potty training (wait until they're ready or possibly bribe with M&Ms), language acquisition (early talkers aren't necessarily geniuses), and many other topics. She also shows parents how to think through freighted questions like if and how to go back to work, how to think about toddler discipline, and how to have a relationship and parent at the same time. Economics is the science of decision-making, and Cribsheet is a thinking parent's guide to the chaos and frequent misinformation of the early years. Emily Oster is a trained expert—and mom of two—who can empower us to make better, less fraught decisions—and stay sane in the years before preschool.

Download or read book Born to Breastfeed written by Rowena Gray and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are many areas of controversy in the world of nutrition, there is unequivocal evidence that breast milk is best to feed our babies. In Australia the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) recently updated their advice after reviewing the scientific research. They now recommend exclusive breastfeeding to around 6 months of age and continuing to breastfeed alongside complementary foods until the baby is 12 months of age and longer if both mum and baby wish. Unfortunately we are not achieving anywhere near these recommendations. Although we have excellent rates of mums initiating breastfeeding after birth with 96% choosing to do so, this falls away dramatically in the first few months. By 3 months of age only 39% of babies are still being exclusively breastfed, and by 5 months only 15%. There are a number of reasons why this may occur. Mothers returning to work, lack of support in dealing with problems breastfeeding, concerns over whether the baby has enough milk, wanting others to be able to feed the baby, and a lack of confidence to breast feed, especially in public, have all been cited as reasons to cease breastfeeding. In some cases there is also a lack of understanding as to the benefits of breastfeeding for both mum and baby and so the motivation to continue doing so may dwindle.That is where this fantastic book from Rowena Gray comes in. Not only does she expertly explain the science and physiology of breastfeeding, clearly outlining the many benefits, she packs in all of the practical information a new mum needs to know. Every conceivable problem is covered with potential solutions and direction given as to where to seek further help when necessary. I have no doubt that this will fast become the feeding bible for all new mums and I sincerely hope the end result is far more babies reaping the benefits of nature's truly amazing first food.
