Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This insightful book, the fruit of the author's extensive work at infant consultations, provides crucial advice to expecting or new mothers on how to establish and maintain breastfeeding. It highlights the influence of nerve centers, psychological factors, and hormonal secretions on milk production and emphasizes the importance of establishing rhythmicity in the infant's feeding schedule. The author's evidence contests the long-held belief that infants derive significant nutrition from breast milk in the early days of life. Through the introduction of the 'test feed,' the author emphasizes the importance of quantifying an infant's milk intake to assess the need for supplementation. This book challenges the common practice of relying solely on the mother's subjective experience. Instead, the author encourages a more scientific approach, involving the careful monitoring of an infant's weight gain and the utilization of the test feed to ensure the infant is receiving adequate nourishment. Through practical guidance and a wealth of real-world examples, this book empowers parents to make informed decisions about breastfeeding, and ultimately supports optimal infant nutrition and well-being.
