Vaishali,
I include these two handouts in my bf class handouts (a few of which you also
have) and this book list: (I have just copied my handouts in their entirety)
Highly Recommended Books on Breastfeeding and Parenting
Breastfeeding:
The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding; La Leche League International
The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers; Dr Jack Newman and Teresa Pitman
Bestfeeding: Getting Breastfeeding Right for You; Mary Renfrew, Chloe Fisher &
S. Arms
The Breastfeeding Book; Martha Sears, RN, and William Sears, MD
Nursing Mother, Working Mother; Gale Pryor
(Above books available from La Leche League International;
www.lalecheleague.org)
Parenting:
The Baby Book; William Sears and Martha Sears
Becoming a Father; Wm Sears
Your Amazing Newborn; Marshall Klaus and Phyllis Klaus
The Continuum Concept; Jean Leidloff
Father's Milk: Nourishment & Wisdom for the First-Time Father; Andre Stein
Good Nights: The Happy Parent's Guide to the Family Bed; Dr Jay Gordon &M
Goodavage
Between Parent and Child; Haim Ginott
Mothering; the thinking parents magazine
These are just some of the wonderful books available that demonstrate a true
understanding of babies/children's needs. Meeting your baby's needs now with
respect for her/him as a person will help to enable your child to be
independent, secure and trusting later, when such independence is age appropriate.
Beware of the "how to" resources that offer a quick fix; people usually don't
respond well to such advice and babies are people.
