Book Description

Finally, a sensible plan for women who return to work
after a three-month maternity leave
Anyone who has ever had a baby has heard the prevailing medical wisdom that
"breast is best" for baby's first food. Solid science stands behind that
wisdom: Excellent studies show that there are immunological and other
benefits for the breastfed baby. On the other hand, doctors and
breastfeeding advocates rarely appreciate or even acknowledge the challenges
that go along with breastfeeding until baby is ready for solid food --
anywhere from four to nine months. The simple and reasonable approach is one
that many doctors and breastfeeding advocates unfortunately treat as
sacrilege:

Limit breastfeeding to the length of your maternity leave.

As Dr. Wilkoff explains, the truth is that women who nurse for three months
(or until their maternity leave is over) provide their children with an
optimal start in terms of nutrition and can have the same rewarding
experience as mothers who nurse their children much longer. In contrast to
the insistence of militant breastfeeding advocates, he offers an important
and comforting message: Breast is best for as long as you can comfortably
manage it.

There are no guilt trips or political agendas here. Instead mothers will
find:
-a practical plan for establishing a nursing schedule
-troubleshooting advice, including how moms can avoid becoming the baby's
pacifier
-help with making a smooth transition back to the workplace
-and more


No other reviews were available from other readers, etc, as the book has
just been released.  Amazon does allow reader reviews, so hopefully others
will respond to this book.
