The Positive Breastfeeding Book: Everything you need to feed your baby with confidence

How often does my baby really need to feed?

How do I know my baby is getting enough?

Is it normal for my baby to wake at night?

When youre expecting a new baby, suddenly everyone around you becomes an expert particularly when it comes to how to feed them. It is easy to become overwhelmed by conflicting advice, myths and exaggerated stories.

The Positive Breastfeeding Book cuts through the anecdotes, giving you clear, no-judgement, non-preachy, evidence-based information to help you make the right decisions for you and your baby. It will help you understand how breastfeeding works, and supports you in developing strategies to make sure that whilst youre looking after the baby, youre getting taken care of too.

Jam-packed with everything you ever wanted to know about breastfeeding (and a whole lot you never knew you did!), it will take you through tips for planning for your babys arrival, coping with those early months, and knowing what to do and where to seek help if challenges come up. It will guide you through feeding in public, going back to work, and even rediscovering a glass of wine.

Youll find plenty of real stories and guidance throughout from mothers and experts in supporting breastfeeding. There are handy chapters on formula and mixed feeding, which cut through advertising spiel and give you the facts you need to choose and use formula safely. 

The Positive Breastfeeding Book doesnt promise to make it easy, nor will it get up in the middle of the night for you, but it will empower you with the knowledge and encouragement you need to feed your baby with confidence.
